Rayy, Here are a few that I came across. I cannot promise that they will be able to help, but at the very least, they should be able to point you in the direction of people you can contact in case they aren't able to help. Good luck! *********************************************** Asian American Civic Association Chau Ming Lee 200 Tremont Street Boston, MA 02116 Tel: 617/426-9492 Email: alan@aaca-boston.org Political Asylum/Immigration Representation Project 14 Beacon Street - Room 804A Boston, MA 02108 Tel: 617/742-9296 Email: referral@pairproject.org International Institute of Boston One Milk Street Boston, MA 02109-5413 Tel: 617/695-9990 Email: beacon@iiboston.org Greater Boston Legal Services 197 Friend Street Boston, MA 02114 Tel: 617/371-1234 Centro Presente Oscar Chacon 54 Essex Street - 2nd Floor Cambridge, MA 02139 Tel: 617/497-9080 Email: cpresent@igc.apc.org OR ochacon@msn.com Centro Presente Carmen Paniagua 54 Essex Street - 2nd Floor Cambridge, MA 02139 Tel: 617/497-9080 Email: cpresente1@qwest.net Refugee Immigration Ministry Malden, MA 02148 Tel: 781/322-1011 *********************** For the rest of you in other states, the webiste that I got the above information from has listings for various legal Aid prividers in the U.S so here's the link to the website. http://www.searac.org/probono_legal.html ***************************************** Gothalo, Please click on the link above and contact one of the organizations in your state. They may be able to help you get some advice. You cannot withdraw your political asylum application but you always have the right and the ability to supplement it, so, the lawyers may be able to help you make it stronger. Also the interview process itself can be very scary and officers have been known to ask really tough questions to people who are not accompanied with a lawyer so it is in your interest to make sure you get as much legal advice as you can before you get called for the interview. Also, one of these groups may be helpful in tracking down your application Regards,
