New Asylum Office "China Initiative" Questions

MacArthur Fellow Margaret D. Stock (the founder of MAVNI) writes: "This is a new set of questions that the Asylum Officers are now asking Chinese asylum applicants who have studied in STEM fields in the US (which is practically everyone, as I think you may know, a majority of PhD students studying physics in the US are from China). These questions are asked during a “follow up” interview on any Chinese MAVNI asylum case, and it takes about four hours for the Asylum Officer to go through these questions."
