EXPERT OPINION LETTERS — VENEZUELAN ASYLUM CASES
Venezuelan Asylum Clients Still Need Expert Evidence
With Nicolás Maduro's capture on January 3, 2026, immigration adjudicators are increasingly inclined to question whether Venezuelan asylum claims remain viable. But the United Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and Foro Penal have all documented that the repressive State apparatus remains intact, that politically motivated detentions continue under the interim Rodríguez government, and that the Amnesty Law for Democratic Coexistence is being terminated. Asylum applicants still face persecution if returned — and asylum petitions need to make that case with expert evidence.
What We Provide
Sworn expert opinion declarations on current Venezuelan country conditions, tailored to the specific profile of each asylum applicant. These declarations are admissible as 28 U.S.C. § 1746 sworn statements in EOIR Immigration Court and USCIS Asylum Office proceedings, and serve as expert evidence supporting the applicant's well-founded fear of persecution.
The Post-Maduro Transition
Why the January 2026 leadership change has not eliminated the conditions giving rise to your client's well-founded fear of persecution.
Country Conditions Analysis
Detailed treatment of political, religious, gender-based, and SOGI persecution, with citations to UN, U.S. State Department, IACHR, HRW, Amnesty International, and Venezuelan civil society sources.
Application to Your Client's Profile
Country conditions tied directly to your client's specific risk factors — not boilerplate.
The Declarant
Our declarations are authored by a former Diputado of the Venezuelan Congress with twenty years of consecutive legislative service (1979–1999), including five legislative sessions as President of the Congressional Comptroller Committee and three sessions as President of the Foreign Policy Committee.
The declarant also served as President of the Andean Parliament (1993–1995), is the published author of multiple scholarly works on Venezuelan corruption, democratic institutions, and governance. The declarant is a naturalized United States citizen, currently holds Vice Presidential leadership in a Florida-registered Venezuelan diaspora civil society organization focused on impunity in Venezuela, and maintains continuous engagement with current conditions inside the country.
