Before you begin
A careful setting for presenting sensitive facts
Humanitarian benefits arise from personal experiences that may be difficult to discuss. In addition to meeting legal requirements, an application should present a clear timeline, consistent statements, and available evidence that helps corroborate the facts.
We work confidentially to understand your story, identify deadlines, and assess which benefit may apply. Preparation may include declarations, medical or psychological documents, reports, country information, and evidence of cooperation with authorities. Each record is developed with respect for the person’s safety, dignity, and circumstances.

A one-year deadline from arrival generally applies, although exceptions may exist. Timing should be evaluated promptly.
