The purpose of this petition is to question the decision that was made on Mohammad Ali Jannesars political asylum case (Case number A212186644 and ID number 201606) and ask USCIS to reopen and reverse their decision.
Mohammad Ali Jannesar was born in Tehran, Iran and has been living in New Delhi, India since January of 2006. He first applied for a political asylum through the UNHCR and after his case was approved his file was sent to the USCIS office in New Delhi. After several months of waiting he had an interview at the USCIS office. He was provided a translator but the officer interviewing him felt that he spoke English, his second language, well enough to speak for himself and did not utilize the translators services. Proficiency is a matter of opinion and very relative. While the applicant may speak English, his level of comprehension may not match his level of listening comprehension. Therefore, linguistic factors such as nuance, inference and/or the use of hyperbole may soar past a second language speaker without notice which could very well be the cause of his application being denied for lack of credibility on the first try. (Read the whole story at www.Iranscoop.com)
When his file was resubmitted to the USCIS for an appeal it was once again turned down but this time there was no reason given. When Mr. Jannesar tried to question the results he was told to bring back his denial letter so that a box can be checked to verify the reason for his denial.
If there was not enough attention put into checking a box on his denial letter, how can we be sure that his case was reviewed at all?
We the people of Iran are facing an era of unfair decisions against our own brothers and sisters by the current government in Iran. We watch our fellow men fight for their lives and freedoms. There are many cases in different countries around Iran waiting to be heard. It is time that we the PEOPLE of IRAN who live in free countries deliver the voice of our brothers and sisters so that everyone around the world can hear their cries.
With most respectful regards
