comments by Supervisory Asylum Officer

At a seminar, a "Supervisory Asylum Officer" offered these suggestions:

-yes, we love passports, because inside, are dates!
-applicant: know your passport! are there some stamps which are missing? did you travel somewhere, but there is no stamp at that airport?

men get raped in prison at times. Most men do not want to talk about that. so, ask the man in your office: "I have heard that men get raped in prison in your country. Is that true? did anything happen to you?"
=
There are dates in the passport, in membership cards, in letters from doctors. Do those dates agree with the dates in your Declaration?
Do the documents agree with the Declaration?

Maybe you went to the clinic in 2008 and saw Dr. Smith. Then, in the year 2010, you asked the clinic for documents; in that year, Dr. Jones wrote a letter about 2008. Why is the name "Dr. Jones" on the record for an event in 2008? Because Jones works there in 2010. Read the names of the doctor on the paper you have!

The Asylum Officer wants info. Answer his questions! answer in detail! Answer his questions, even if you do not have any idea why he would be asking a question, that seems stupid to you.
