Bars to Asylum, Part II: Non-Crimes-Related Bars

The Immigration and Nationality Act states that any noncitizen in the United States may apply for asylum. However, the statute contains several bars to receiving asylum, and regulations and policies introduced by recent presidential administrations have further curtailed access to asylum. This is the second part of a three-part series on asylum bars. In this webinar, we will focus on four of the nine statutory bars: the one-year filing deadline, previous asylum denial, firm resettlement, and the safe third country bar. We will delve into how to screen for these bars and strategies to defend against application of these bars to our clients based on current policies and case law.
