Polygraph as a Tool in Immigration/Political Asylum Cases

Every person has the right to live free from actual or fear of persecution, based on their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Though every government is obligated to provide this right, many fail. Every year millions of people face persecution for traits they cannot control or exercising their religious or political belief. Asylum may be granted to people who are already in the United States and are unable or unwilling to return their home 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. The use of a Certified I-CARE professional polygraph examiner ensures reliable and valid testing of individuals seeking asylum. Polygraphs are used to determine the validity of the claims of the petitioner in federal courts in immigration cases. The statements of the petitioner requesting asylum can be verified by a polygraph examination. The results of the examination can assist the Asylum Officer and/or Immigration Judge in making an informed decision with regard to granting or withholding asylum. Polygraph, used in conjunction with a Physical exam and/or a psychological exam can lend credibility to those persons seeking a grant of asylum. Polygraph is a valuable tool which should not be overlooked by those seeking political refuge.
