Court granted review of denial of application on the grounds that membership in a particular social group (young Albanian women in danger of being trafficked for prostitution) had not been established. Previously review was denied (see attachment).
Application for review of decision of the Immigration and Refugee Board. Application granted on basis that decision was made in reviewable error for two reasons: no proper application was conducted of the Chairpersons Gender Guidelines, and no fair analysis was given to available evidence.
Case remanded to the Immigration Judge to determine whether the applicant showed compelling reasons to be granted asylum based on either severe past persecution or other serious harm.
