The DoNotPay robot lawyer provides free legal assistance to refugees seeking asylum in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

DoNotPay, a chat bot that challenged 160 with thousands of parking fines, can now help refugees apply for asylum using Facebook Messenger.

Initially, DoNotPay, created by Stanford University student Joshua Browder, positioned itself as “the world’s first robot lawyer,” providing free legal assistance to users through an interface. A chatbot using Facebook Messenger can now help refugees fill out immigration applications to the US and Canada. For those in the UK, it helps them access asylum support.

Browder says this new feature has been "long overdue." He added that he tried to launch it for 6 months, and for this he consulted with lawyers in different countries to be confident in the robot.

“It took months and months of work, but we wanted to make sure he was right,” said the creator.

Browder began working on this project before the election of Donald Trump as president of the United States, but now he felt that it was more important than ever. “I added Canada at the last minute because of changes in the political background in the United States,” he said.

The chat bot works as follows: it asks users a series of questions to determine which program a person needs and whether he has the right to asylum in accordance with international law.

The robot then pulls down the necessary details for the appropriate asylum application—I-589 for the United States or “Application for Asylum” for Canada. Those in the UK must apply in person, and the bot will help complete the ASF1 form to grant or extend asylum.

Browder says that the bot works in simple English, which is crucial for people whose English is not their first language.
“After the form is submitted, the information is deleted by the bot within 10 minutes,” said Browder.

The 20-year-old student chose Facebook Messenger because of its accessibility. “It works with almost every device, making it accessible to more than a billion people,” he said.

Browder admits that he can not do without pitfalls. For example, not all information that is transmitted via Facebook Messenger is encrypted.
The creator has optimistic plans - he wants to expand the chat bot to WhatsApp, which is popular internationally.

The next step will make the service available in other languages. Browder is currently working on translating it into Arabic.
Immigration lawyer Sophie Alcorn welcomes such a robot lawyer.

“Asylum seekers want to follow the laws and do things the right way, and this technology will help them do that,” Alcorn said.

DoNotPay was originally a free service that for incomplete 2 of the year was able to challenge 160 thousands of 250 thousands of court decisions about improper parking in London and New York, winning almost $ 4 million in fines in favor of drivers. The student decided to create a program after he received 30 fines for parking in London.
