Keep a clear timeline
Record important events in date order, including threats, attacks, moves, reports to authorities and attempts to obtain protection. Separate what you experienced directly from what others told you.
Preserve evidence safely
Keep copies of messages, documents and medical records when doing so does not create additional danger. Backups should be encrypted or held by a trusted person.
Be accurate
Do not add details that are uncertain or invented. Explain gaps honestly and update your adviser when circumstances change.
Use qualified advice
Immigration and asylum rules change. A website cannot determine status or guarantee an outcome; consult a recognized lawyer or protection professional.
