Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) authorizes the Attorney General, in her discretion, to confer asylum on any "refugee." 8 U.S.C.S. § 1158(a). The INA defines "refugee" as a person unwilling or unable to return to his native country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. 8 U.S.C.S. § 1101(a)(42)(A). There are three elements the alien must establish to qualify for withholding of deportation or asylum based on membership in a particular social group. The alien must (1) identify a group that constitutes a "particular social group," (2) establish that she is a member of that group, and (3) show that she would be persecuted or has a well founded fear of persecution based on that membership.
  • To demonstrate membership in a particular social group, a petitioner must show persecution that is directed toward an individual who is a member of a group of persons all of whom share a common, immutable characteristic. The shared characteristic might be an innate one such as sex, color, or kinship ties, or in some circumstances it might be a shared past experience such as former military leadership or land ownership. The particular kind of group characteristic that will qualify under this construction remains to be determined on a case-by-case basis. However, whatever the common characteristic that defines the group, it must be one that the member of the group either cannot change, or should not be required to change because it is fundamental to their individual identities or consciences.
