help for an iraqi student

[immihelp]

Hello,
I am assisting a 15 year old Iraqi exchange student who would like to stay here and study in college. He fears for his safety if he returns to Bagdad. He has a friend who was tortured following a visit to the US.
We are trying to get as much information as we can for him about Visas and possible political asylum status.
We live in Minnesota.
Thanks for the help

I came here on a student Visa and applyed for asylum. I did it through a lawyer and he was really good. and there are some places that can help for free like churches, I heard that Catholic social services is really helpful. they do that a lot. you might find one where you live. let me know if you want to know more info.
