Ayubbhai Vahora v. Eric H. Holder Jr., No. 08-71618 (9th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePetitioner, a native and citizen of India, petitioned for a review of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") dismissal of his appeal of the Immigration Judge's denial of his application for asylum. At issue was whether petitioner demonstrated "changed circumstances" that justified the untimely filing of his asylum application. The court granted the petition and held that the significance of the changes in conditions in India while petitioner was in the United States demonstrated "changed circumstances" and that the time period of two months, from the time petitioner learned of the changed circumstances and the time he filed for asylum, was reasonable.
