Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a refugee and an asylum seeker?
An asylum seeker has applied for protection but awaits a decision. A recognized refugee has been formally granted protection status. Quitno guides you through the process from initial claim filing to final protected person status.
Is my consultation confidential?
Absolutely. All client information is protected by strict professional confidentiality. We understand the sensitivity of humanitarian cases and treat every client with dignity, discretion, and care.
