ESPAÑOL ABAJO. ASAP has released 11 new infographics on the asylum process in Spanish! On topics ranging from how to check your case status to what to do if you miss a court hearing, these resources are designed for asylum seekers navigating the difficult immigration court process on their own.
The Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP) produced these infographics to address some of the most commonly asked questions we receive from the 4,500+ asylum seekers in our online communities. We hope they are useful to you as well!
Check out the new infographics on our Spanish resources page.
