Admir has also acted as an expert witness on Afghanistan in immigration court and before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
"I'm super satisfied with the country conditions packets Admir has prepared for me. He finds relevant, timely documents and puts them into a ready to submit annotated index. I really appreciate the way Admir explains in the annotation how the document supports the asylum claim.”

”Very positively surprised. At first a little skeptical about what we could address in three days, but there was a lot to address. Weighing different sources. The dimensions are really useful now that we need to assess new countries. Very useful to progress in our work understanding new countries and managing country condition information.”
