Navigating Barriers at Asylum Offices

Navigating Barriers at Asylum Offices

This roundtable will address ongoing practice challenges affecting asylum adjudications at the local level. We will discuss barriers to communication, scheduling issues, backlogs, and other challenges advocates face at field offices. We aim to surface trends and promote information sharing to navigate these issues.

Asylum experts on the Asylum and Refugee Committee will moderate the discussion.

Facilitators

  • Pamela Matilde Rioles Saeed, AILA Asylum and Refugee Committee, Tucson, AZ
  • Robin Nice, AILA Asylum and Refugee Committee, Boston, MA
