Asylum officer questions December 22, 2025

How did your lawyer help you with your written statement? What was the worst thing that happened to you? 

Did you tell lies to get your tourist visa? why? What does your passport say about your international travel? What is the Civil Disobedience Movement? were you a member? were you associated with it? how? did anyone know you were associated with it?

What thoughts went through your mind, when you heard the knock on your door? Why do you want asylum? why didn't you apply sooner? Were you threatened? how many times? Why did you depart from your country? Do you need permission to travel inside Burma, from one city to another? what is a direct threat? what is an indirect threat?  What were you protesting? Why did you protest? why not go to hospital, if you were injured? 

Were you targeted specifically? Are you of personal interest to your government? What was the man wearing? what weapons did he have? what words did he say? can you repeat what you said in your Written Statement? why didn't you go to a doctor? Details are good, unless you can't repeat them
