Luis Valderrama, Petitioner, v. U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, Respondent
Dec 14, 2015OUTCOME: Petition Granted. Matter remanded back to Board of Immigration Appeals to review whether evidence presented was sufficient to establish past persecution.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Immigration Judge's decision for requiring corroboration that did not exist or would have been impossible to obtain. ... The Court also held that there is a limit to the Immigration Judge's discretion in denying asylum based on lack of reasonably available corroborating evidence.
