a Tamil from Sri Lanka

The Asylum Officer wanted to know:
-you went to a university in India? how did you pay the tuition?
-how did you pay for the airline tickets from Sri Lanka to Brazil, to Ecuaduor, to Mexico?
-how do you pay your bills today, in USA? how do you pay rent?
-Why was your father killed?
why was your brother arrested?
-where is the rest of your family? why did you travel alone?
=
you say you were arrested in October? what language did the guard speak?
what questions did he ask?
did he mention your ethnic group? was he interested, at all, in whether you were a member of the Tamil group? how do you know?
=
how did you get your passport? whose name was in it? what country issued it?
where is the passport now?
If you return to your country, what would happen to you?
is there anything else?
what is your favorite exhibit?
