a common mistake that Asylum Seekers
make when filing their Asylum
application is submitting a paragraph or
two describing their reasons for being
afraid to go back to their country of
origin now I will tell you on a
unequivocally that there is no way that
one or two paragraphs
can in fact do justice to the reasons
why you are afraid to go back to your
country and
so the mistake can be rectified by being
as detailed as possible and how do you
submit an application that is detailed
well you start with the fundamentals
focus on who what when where why and how
if you focus on those
fundamental
questions now a statement such as they
beat me can turn into a paragraph or two
because you will be asking who were
they where did the attack take place
when exactly did the attack take place
how did they hit you where did they hit
you what did they use to hit you did you
bleed did you need stitches were you
taken to a hospital which hospital and
you see by asking those simple questions
you can turn a very simple statement
that really doesn’t tell us much into
one or two paragraphs that provide us
with a glimpse into what exactly
happened and how it happened and that’s
important because you want the Trier of
fact to believe you to feel as though he
or she was there with you when the
attack took place and so in this way you
can make your statement all the more
powerful
