Expert Help: An Advantage For All Immigration Applications, But Especially Critical For Refugees
Refugee applications are especially complex, and feature the unique need to demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution. RCICs have specialized knowledge and expertise to navigate these intricacies, so all relevant details are presented clearly and compellingly, while minimizing the risk of errors or oversights.
RCICs can tailor applications to your individual situation, and understand your situation meaningfully. Refugees often face unique and sensitive circumstances, and a sympathetic consultant who understands your challenges can offer you personalized support. This helps them act as your personal advocate and present your case more effectively to the IRB. This is particularly important in refugee cases, where clear and persuasive communication can make a significant difference in the decision-making process.
Refugees often have experienced traumas which are very difficult to talk about, but it is essential to accurately and completely communicate these events to demonstrate why they should be granted refugee status. In addition, language barriers make communication even harder. RCICs can provide translation and language support, and offer needed sensitivity during challenging testimonials.
RCICs also help streamline the application process and reduce delays which is particularly critical for those seeking refuge.
