The Board of Immigration Appeals Adopts Johanna Schiavoni’s Arguments and Reverses the Immigration Judge’s Termination of Client’s Asylum
July 9, 2014The Board of Immigration Appeals, the intermediate appellate body for all immigration cases nation-wide, adopted Johanna Schiavoni’s argument challenging the Immigration Judge’s termination of asylum without making required findings in support of the termination. The Board’s opinion also remanded the case and re-opened the proceedings, specifically to allow the client to present several additional arguments raised on appeal regarding the court’s defective notice of the termination proceedings and legal challenges to the Immigration Judge’s determination that the client suffered a conviction that barred him from adjusting his status to that of lawful permanent resident.
