Description
Petitioners Safet Corovic ("Corovic"), his wife Vesmina Corovic ("Vesmina"), and their daughter Ilda Corovic ("Ilda"), natives and citizens of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia ("Macedonia"), seek review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirming an order of an Immigration Judge ("IJ") that, in pertinent part, denied petitioners application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture ("CAT"). In re: Safet Corovic, No. A 75 829 501 (B.I.A. Dec. 14, 2006), affg No. A 75 829 501 (Immig. Ct. N.Y. City May 4, 2005). Petitioners contend that the IJs adverse credibility finding is not supported by substantial evidence because (1) the submission of two allegedly fraudulent documents is insufficient, standing alone, to support an adverse credibility determination; (2) certain evidence should have been excluded from the record because it was obtained in violation of petitioners confidentiality rights under 8 C.F.R. § 208.6; and (3) the IJ and BIA relied erroneously on (a) excluded evidence and (b) inconclusive evidence. As set forth more fully below, we conclude that the IJs adverse credibility finding lacked an adequate factual basis and instruct the fact-finder to determine on remand (1) whether one of the documents submitted by Corovic was in fact fraudulent; (2) whether Corovic had reason to know that the documents he submitted were fraudulent; and (3) whether the violations of section 208.6 give rise to a new claim for relief.
