To win asylum, an applicant must demonstrate that they fear being seriously harmed in their country of origin. Often, applicants establish this by submitting documents such as reports from national and international human rights and governmental organizations and news articles describing the types of harm the applicant suffered or fears suffering in the future in their country of origin.  This evidence is generally referred to as “country  conditions.”  Country conditions packets typically consist of an index (highlighting important quotations from specific reports and articles) followed by printouts of the full documents.

Sample country conditions packets, primarily for LGBTQ and/or HIV claims, from various countries are provided below. These materials are intended to provide a helpful starting point for research. However, you must always make sure that the country conditions are updated to cover the specific issues in the applicant’s case.

To inquire about LGBTQ or HIV country conditions for a country not listed below, email us at the following address: countryconditions@immigrationequality.org.

Immigration Equality is happy to share these country conditions with you, which are researched and compiled on an ongoing basis. If you are a private attorney being paid for your service, please consider making a donation here to support our work.
