Facts First
Not a template story, but your situation
International protection is not a common way to legalize stay. The grounds relate to the individual risk of return and are assessed taking into account personal circumstances, evidence and current information about the country of origin.
We do not make up reasons or “improve” facts. Our job is to help tell the true story clearly, completely and consistently.Scope of support

Preparation of materials
Evidence is not just certificates
Each material is assessed in the context of the entire story. Retain originals, dates, references, and source information.
Discuss available materials →Personal story
Chronology of events, threats, persecution, movements and requests for protection.
Documents
Passport, decisions of authorities, protocols, subpoenas, medical documents and official correspondence.
Digital materials
Messages, emails, publications and files with preserved context and source.
Country of origin
Reliable, up-to-date information that helps assess the stated risk in a specific situation.
Preparation without memorization
The interview should convey your real story.
We help you reconstruct chronology, understand incomplete or contradictory passages, prepare for difficult questions, and use a translator. Memorized text and fictitious details create additional risks.
- tell the truth and separate what you personally see from what you hear;
- if you don’t know or don’t remember, say so;
- Correct translation or recording errors immediately;
- explain gaps and late submissions of evidence;
- Disclose any special needs prior to the interview.
Do not rely on general advice from the Internet. Immediately save the envelope, notice and the entire text of the decision: the procedure and period for appeal may depend on the type of act and the date of delivery.
