Law Offices of Nicklaus Misiti secures another Egyptian Christian's US asylum approval

CAIRO - Nov. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Since the revolution in Egypt Coptic Christians are fleeing the country in record numbers.  Copts have been persecuted in Egypt for many years but it seems since the revolution either that has increased or other countries are now paying more attention.

The number of Coptic Christians granted asylum in the US has quadrupled in the past year and the law firm Law Offices of Nicklaus Misiti, PLLC has helped  a good number of them with their applications.  Asylum must be applied for within 1 year of entering the country but it is not uncommon for Coptic Christians to be granted an extension of the 1 year deadline due to changed country conditions.

Recently attorney Nicklaus Misiti received another decision approving the application of a Coptic Christian who had been threatened at work and feared his daughter and wife would be persecuted in Egypt.

Nicklaus Misiti was hired to handle the case and everything seemed fine, as the application was a strong one.  After a number of weeks the applicants were granted an interview and everything seemed normal.

However, at the interview the asylum officer was highly inappropriate.  She was yelling at the client and Nicklaus Misiti for no reason.  She was trying to intimidate him and to scare him after he had come many miles and thought he was finally safe.

It was apparent this officer could not do her job.  Following the interview Nicklaus Misiti filed a complaint and requested a meeting with her supervisor.  The supervisor looked into it and found that the officer had done a poor job to say the least.  The supervisor overrided the officers decision and approved the application within 2 weeks of filing the complaint.

The nightmare was over for Law Offices of Nicklaus Misiti’s client they and their family were now safe in the US and had obtained their work permit.

This is why it is important to not only hire an attorney for asylum cases but to make sure you hire the correct one.  You want an attorney that will go the extra mile for you and will fight your case until it is won.  It would have been simple for Nicklaus Misiti to sit back and wait until the officer denied the case, so they could charge the client more when it was referred to a judge but this is not what they did and their client is much better off for their hard work.
