Asylum Petition Granted
In Clairmont v. Sound Mental Health, No. 09-35856, a petition for review of the BIA’s order affirming an Immigration Judge’s denial of petitioner’s claims for asylum and withholding of removal, the court granted the petition where petitioner’s delay in filing her asylum application was due to the “extraordinary circumstance” of fraudulent deceit by an immigration consultant, and this circumstance directly related to her failure to file the application within the one-year deadline.
