hi, am from the Saddam Hussine former regim's family and i am trying to grant a political asylum in Switzerland. my father was hanged by the current iraqi government and all our monies and properties have been seized. so any idea of a way how to start applying for it and do you know any of the lawyers who can adopt this case? thanks

With no cash and already living in Jordan, you won't be granted asylum in Switzerland.

Your first port of call is at the Swiss embassy, Amman, JO.

You have to meet up and discuss the merits of your case with an Embassy officer who will forward it to the BfM, Bern for consideration.

You can only claim asylum in the country you're physically in.

I think this smells of troll.

Switzerland and Spain are the only two countries that allow claims from abroad at the foreign missions.

Okay, you learn something new everyday.

I had the asylum rules explained to me at length at the British Embassy in Islamabad when I was trying to help a refugee.

You can claim assylum anywhere you want. You just have to get there. There are many Iraqi Asylees in the US.

Just remember that when you claim asylum, you don't just get a free pass to go out into the free world to explore on your own. You will spend some time in an immigration detention center, treated like a prisoner until the government can hear your case and determine if you have a credible fear of returning to your country (including the country where you have been a legal resident -- in this case, Jordan). If you are found not to have a credible fear, then you will be returned.

If you are prepared to do this, then by all means, pursue it.\

It stinks troll full blow!

This is a long tradition of the Swiss, and only very recently by the Spaniards ( only for sexual refugees ).

Case law:

Claimant was an Ugandan in Japan and won his visa to enter CH. Best advice to the OP - seek out a consular officer, and lodge your formal application.

That is one heck of an introduction . If this is legit, I wish you the best.

Uday, is that you?

I don't. And this is unlikely to be real. But a real troll would post again. We'll see.

Thanks for your replies guys but i have asked alot of applying abroead and they didnt recommand me with it because they said that your chance will be weeker than being physically there. and if it dropped, then even if come to Switzerland it wont work out again. so for that i am trying to be there.

And the part that you are someones soulmate

I think that's clear now. He's a



Or else a joke in fairly bad taste.

OK.....let's try.....

Under what conditions where you admitted to Jordan and how have those changed such that you need political asylum?

*waiting*



Yeah...............thats what I thought!

Oh.....and how rude of me to forget to ask - how DID that interview go in Neuchatel for that underpaid job?
