BIA on Untimely Asylum Filing: Matter of D-G-C-, 28 I&N Dec. 297 (BIA 2021)

Matter of D-G-C-, 28 I&N Dec. 297 (BIA 2021) - The mere continuation of an activity in the United States that is substantially similar to the activity from which an initial claim of past persecution is alleged and that does not significantly increase the risk of future harm is insufficient to establish “changed circumstances” to excuse an untimely asylum application within the meaning of section 208(a)(2)(D) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(2)(D) (2018).
