Current Strategies for Articulating Particular Social Group Claims in Asylum

The Attorney General’s decisions in Matter of S-S-F-M-, 29 I&N Dec. 207 (A.G. 2025) and Matter of R-E-R-M- & J-D-R-M-, 29 I&N Dec. 202 (A.G. 2025), impact the landscape of particular social group claims in asylum applications. These decisions especially impact specific groups including:

Survivors of domestic violence
Those who belong to family-based social groups
