The US Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services recently granted an asylum petition that was prepared by Simpson Thacher attorneys on behalf of a political refugee from Russia. The petition was granted despite that fact that petitioner had failed to apply for asylum within the requisite one-year filing deadline as a result of the traumatic nature of her experiences. This case is one of the many recent political asylum successes by Simpson Thacher attorneys.
This matter was handled by Simpson Thacher Senior Counsel Soogy Lee and Associate Stephen Ballas.
