H.H.: BIA Overturned For Ignoring Evidence of Persecution (not precedential)

Filed 01/12/06, No. 04-2318
"H.H." v. Gonzales
"H.H." v. Atty Gen USA [the third circuit used the asylum-seeker's actual name]
http://www.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/042318np.pdf
Not Precedential

Life would be easy if you never had to read the evidentiary record. The BIA ignored testimony about persecution and ruled that the asylum-seeker failed to provide any evidence of persecution. That was a fatal error because there was an affidavit about that topic in the record. Time to overturn the decision and remand for further proceedings. Strangely, it looked like the immigration judge and the asylum-seeker's own attorney also forgot about the affidavit about persecution.

I guess the key points here are that an affidavit counts as evidence, make sure you point out what is in the evidence, and judges sometimes forget to review the entire evidentiary record. These are pretty basic points.

why the IJ did not beleve his sister. why the IJ did not ask him for more prove, because i am sure that family have many many proves to geave to IJ.
I think that this is kind of another presecution by IJ. this young guy needs a freedom for his life and a safe place for his self and family, but i am glad 2 that his sister is granted asylum in usa. I wish mr Caushi stay in this country where he can have a safe place and for us that we have gone thry all this . just please take it seriously. because it is not just a dream, but it was really very dangerous for me and for other peopel that speak about the freedom and demockratci. with out theme , albanian with be another socialist country like (cuba). good luck robert on ur case. i wish that you win ur case and god bless you and family.

These people you are speaking of are nothing but liars and thieves. The INS should not even give them the time of day. They come into this country and make a lot of trouble. They come from a country that is barbaric and therefore are barbarians themselves. I think that every Albanian that comes into the U.S. illegally should be returned back to their country as soon as they are caught. Stop wasting the American tax payers money on these people. All they do is fight, lie and use.
