Our client Yasmine won her asylum case! Yasmine left her home country in North Africa due to the extreme persecution she experienced as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Same-sex relationships are punishable by prison there. People often suffer physical abuse, receive death threats, and experience social and family ostracization.         

Yasmine applied for asylum in the US nine years ago, but due to the backlog of cases, her hearing was postponed. When her court date finally came, she needed RTP to urgently translate a new piece of evidence crucial to her upcoming case. We translated the document in time for her to submit it to the court. The immigration judge granted Yasmine asylum, and she is finally able to live safely and legally in the US. 

RTP is committed to providing rapid and accurate translation services that take into account the specific requirements necessary to tell these stories of persecution so that our clients can win their cases. 

During this Pride Month please take a stand, and support RTP in serving members of our LGBTQIA+ community who are seeking to live a life of dignity and safety. Your support can really make a difference in someone’s life!
