How Bavi prepares your file
Intake and file review
We review your Basis of Claim, existing documents, and timeline to understand the full picture of your claim and identify gaps or inconsistencies that need to be addressed before the hearing.
Document preparation
We help organize supporting evidence, prepare a document index, and identify country condition materials relevant to your claim. Documents are formatted to meet IRB filing requirements.
Hearing representation
We attend and represent you at the IRB hearing, present your evidence, and respond to panel questions on your behalf. Interpretation services are the client's responsibility to arrange with the IRB.
