Initials & Country of Origin: P.R from Haiti
Type of Case: Affirmative Asylum
Language/interpretation needs: Haitian Creole interpreted needed
Date of Entry (and status, if any): 04/21/2024
Case summary: P.R. is seeking asylum due to direct, targeted threats and violence from the Izo gang in Haiti. Beginning in late 2021, the gang took control of his Port-au-Prince neighborhood, forcing him to flee after they identified him through his involvement in a youth community-defense group that opposed their activities. As a result, gang members repeatedly threatened to kill him and harm his family. Even after relocating to Delmas 75 and later to Les Cayes, P.R. continued receiving threatening calls and lived in constant fear. The police were unable to provide protection amid Haiti’s escalating insecurity. His fears are further supported by the kidnapping of one cousin and the burning of another cousin’s home by the same gang.
Theory of the Case: Fear of future persecution by non-government actors on account of belonging to a particular social group and for his political opinion.
Commitment: File I-589, gather evidence and testimony, appearances at USCIS; Work permit (initial and renewals)
Interview: Yes
Experience level/case team size recommended: Appropriate for any experience level and team size
