What is the test for an application for political asylum?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Vado-Marenco v. I.N.S., 92 F.3d 1195 (9th Cir. 1996):
An applicant is eligible for political asylum upon a showing of past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution on account of one of the enumerated grounds in the Immigration and Nationality Act. Singh v. Ilchert, 69 F.3d 375, 378 (9th Cir.1995) (citing 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(42)(A)). Although we agree with the BIA that petitioner has not established past persecution, we believe that she has established a well-founded fear of future persecution based on political opinion.
