A federal appellate court is seeking guidance from the Board of Immigration Appeals on the standards at play when a foreigner living in the United States seeks asylum based on political activities that occurred in this country.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit sent the matter of Weinong Lin back to the Board of Immigration Appeals because of a legal error, but pleaded with the tribunal for a “careful precedential opinion” setting “some guidelines on how to judge similar cases in the future.”
