Read the notice before naming the remedy
A hearing notice, appeal document or protection-related decision needs to be read in its own context. Start with the document, the forum named, the date you received it and any stated deadline.
If the reasons for a decision are unclear, the written decision and prior record give Mehdi a starting point for review.
What Mehdi reviews
Mehdi reads the notice or decision alongside the timeline, reasons given and previous forms or statements. He reviews the evidence supporting important facts and any questions about credibility or consistency at the current stage of the matter.
IRB scope, stated plainly
You work directly with Mehdi Nafisi, Class L3 RCIC-IRB, College ID R524162. He can advise and represent clients in appropriate IRB proceedings within his licensed competence. He is not a lawyer and does not represent clients in Federal Court.
When the record is difficult
It can be frightening to receive a decision you do not understand. Differences between earlier statements and current documents can add to that uncertainty.
Mehdi can review what was said, what the documents support and where an explanation is needed. That review helps identify the issue without assuming a remedy is available.
A substantive first conversation
After intake review, a paid consultation can clarify the forum, relevant timing, evidence gaps, risks and next practical step. It can also help establish what advice or representation may be appropriate for the matter.
Have the notice reviewed
Have the actual notice and prior record available, including the date received and any stated deadline. Consultations are available in English and Farsi.
