Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- For each report in the file, record the title, the publisher, and the date printed on it. Write no country-conditions paragraph and no filing.
- What the lawyer must review
- The USCIS asylum page says people seek protection because they have suffered persecution or fear persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, and that the applicant must be physically present in the United States and not a United States citizen. EOIR Policy Memorandum 25-40, dated 8 August 2025, says EOIR has neither a blanket prohibition on generative AI nor a mandatory disclosure requirement, and that an individual judge or court may adopt a standing order. Section 1003.102(c) makes it a ground for discipline to knowingly or with reckless disregard make a false statement of material fact or law. The index records dates and publishers. The lawyer writes any country narrative that will be filed.
