US: asylum court and Form I-589

Covers asylum in the US by tracking what actually happens in immigration court, not by handing out reassurance. Looks harder than most at how evidence is built in a case: why a judge can deny a claim even when the proof looks solid, and where the prosecution tends to hunt for inconsistencies. Readers get a working sequence here, not hope: how a hearing is structured, how an unscripted interview differs from a scripted one, why a judge's denial isn't always the end of a case. Breaks down mistakes in Form I-589 filings that later give prosecutors an opening, and explains why leaving the US mid-case can close the door on returning. Keeps an eye on shifting USCIS deadlines and fees too, down to how a missed payment can derail the whole process. Talks about court rulings in terms of reasoning, not emotion.
