United States Ninth Circuit

In a petition for review of an administrative order denying an application for asylum by petitioner, an Indian Sunni Muslim, on the ground that his application was untimely, 8 C.F.R. section 208.4(a)(2), denial is reversed where destruction of home and farm house owned by petitioner, and the disappearance of his brother attributable to his religious affiliation, constituted a changed circumstance such that his untimely petition is excused under 8 C.F.R. section 208.4(a)(5).
