Protection of the LGBTQ+ Community / I am looking for advice: Recognition of my situation as a refugee due to my sexual orientation in North Rhine-Westphalia

Hello everyone,

I am a 28-year-old doctor, have been in Germany for two months on a 16D visa, and live in North Rhine-Westphalia.
I work here part-time and am preparing for the exams to get my license to practice medicine in Germany.

In my home country I was persecuted and imprisoned because of my sexual orientation. I have a final court decision confirming that I was persecuted for being gay. This decision has been translated and certified in German.

I want to contact the city's asylum office (Städtischen Asylstelle) to explain my situation and show that returning to my home country is not an option.

I'm asking for your advice:
* Does anyone have experience with a similar situation?
* Are there other organizations I could contact besides the asylum office?
* What other documents or information should I prepare?
* Are there any particular phrases I should use in my application?

I would like to emphasize that I'm not looking for financial support, just recognition of my refugee status and protection from deportation.

Thanks for any help!
