Vrljicak v. Holder

IJ denied alien’s asylum application on ground that alien had failed to seek asylum relief within one year of entering U.S. As such, Ct. of Appeals lacked jurisdiction under 8 USC section 1158(a)(3) to review Bd.’s conclusion that alien’s asylum request was untimely. Fact that alien waited over 180 days beyond one-year deadline to file asylum request due to belief that conditions in Serbia would improve did not render instant delay reasonable.
