Affirmative Asylum Procedures Manual
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
"The manual is divided into five (5) sections. Section I, 'Background Information,' lists references with which all asylum personnel should be familiar in order to process an asylum application. Section II, 'The Affirmative Asylum Application,' follows the processing of an application from the point at which an applicant receives a blank asylum application, through the issuance of a decision by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Section III, 'Expanded Topics,' the lengthiest section, provides more detail on some topics referenced in Section II, and includes topics that may cause an asylum application to be handled differently from the norm. While it is not possible to anticipate all possible variations, this section addresses the most common. Section IV, 'How To...' explains how to prepare certain documents that Asylum Office personnel issue to applicants in support of a decision to approve, deny, or refer an asylum application. Section V, 'Appendices,' discusses how to use the appendices referred to in the manual."

Citing HSDL Resources

Documents from the HSDL collection cannot automatically be added to citation managers (e.g. Refworks, Endnotes, etc). This HSDL abstract page contains some of the pieces you may need when citing a resource, such as the author, publisher and date information. We highly recommend you always refer to the resource itself as the most accurate source of information when citing. Here are some sources that can help with formatting citations (particularly for government documents).
