View this case - free  

Overview: BIA did not abuse its discretion when it denied alien's motion to reopen and reconsider order that affirmed IJ's denial of alien's application for asylum because BIA summarily affirmed IJ's order of removal on December 4, 2003, and alien did not file motion to reopen within 90 days of BIA's summary affirmance as required by 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2).

View this case - free  

Overview: Immigration judge's denial of alien's request for asylum and withholding of removal was vacated because the erroneous aspects of his reasoning were not tangential to his credibility findings, and evidence supporting those findings was not so overwhelming as to make remand futile, as it was possible that a different outcome would result on remand.

View this case - free  

Overview: As an immigration judge, in denying alien's request for asylum based on her lack of credibility, relied on speculation, failed to consider all of the significant evidence, and used erroneous reasoning that was not tangential to the findings made, the appellate court remanded the case for factual findings by the Board of Immigration Appeals.
