The Material Support and Persecutor of Others Bars

This 90 minute web seminar was originally presented live on August 16, 2011.


In the years since the REAL ID Act came into effect, the Department of Homeland Security has interpreted the material support to a terrorist organization and persecutor of others bars increasingly broadly. Cases languish for years at the Service Centers and asylum applicants find themselves defending their association with organizations long since dissolved or barred for having succumbed to extortion threats. This panel will discuss the current state of the law and offer practical tips for navigating the administrative process.

  • Material Support Tiers I, II & III—How Terrorist Organizations Are Designated
  • How “Material” Is Material?—The De Minimis Exception
  • Extortion and War Taxes—the Duress Exception
  • Persecutor of Others; Common Fact Patterns and Pitfalls
  • Tips for Avoiding a Material Support or Persecutor of Others Designation
  • It Is Not Over Until It Is Over—Adjustment Delays and Revocation Proceedings
  • Strategies for Revocation Interviews & Holding USCIS to Its Burden
