Raquel gave birth to her baby early on August 15th, and they both experienced serious medical complications. Her baby had to be hospitalized after birth, and Raquel experienced pain that did not allow her to stand, walk, or even sit for long periods of time.

Her medical provider documented that Raquel would need six weeks of recovery, meaning she would not be able to attend her USCIS interview. Again, we followed up with USCIS to request a reschedule, but we did not hear back.

On September 1, Raquel’s lawyer went to the asylum office on her behalf to explain the situation and was shocked to learn that the request to reschedule was denied, and they were saying that Raquel had failed to appear, despite numerous communications about her health situation.
