On June 11, 2018, former Attorney General Sessions issued a precedential opinion in Matter of A-B- overruling the Matter of A-R-C-G- landmark decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals, which had recognized that domestic violence survivors may be eligible for asylum protection. This case yielded new policies and practices by immigration agencies and adjudicators, as well as federal court litigation. Now that seven months have passed, immigration practitioners and advocates have a better sense of how Matter of A-B- has been implemented, the various trends that have emerged at all levels of adjudication, and the legal arguments and strategies that practitioners need to continue winning asylum for their clients in the post-A-B- world.
Please join the AILA Asylum Committee, in collaboration with the Immigration Justice Campaign, for a free webinar on February 6, 2019, from 1:00-2:30 pm (ET) to discuss these important topics.
