IN RMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
APPEAL
ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT: Pro se
ORDER:
Decision of te Board of Imigation Appeals
Date:
FEB - G 2014
The respondent, a native ad citizen of El Salvador, appeals fom the Immigraton Judge's
decision dated September 23, 2013, which ordered her removed fom the Unted States. The
record will be remaded.
We review Imigation Judges' fndings of fct fr clea eror, but we review questons of
law, discretion, ad judgment, and all oter issues i appeals de novo. 8 C.F .R.
1003.l(d)(3)(i), (ii).
Despite the Imigration Judge's notation tat there would be no appeal of the decision, we
are not satsfed that the record refects a knowing ad express waiver of te appeal by the
respondent, who was unrepresented dung proceedings befre the Immigation Judge (Tr. at 39-
40). See Matter of Rodrigez-Diaz, 22 I&N Dec. 1320 (IA 2000); Mater of Ocampo-Ugalde,
22 l&N Dec. 1301 (BIA 2000). Inasmuch as there has been no proper waiver, we will consider
. the appeal.
The record shows that the respondent expressed a fea of retng to El Salvador, but the
Immigation Judge preteritted ay application fr asylum befre afording the respondent the
opportity to fle a Form 1-589, Application fr Asylum ad Witholding of Removal (Tr. at
33-39). See 8 C.F.R. 1240.l l(c)( l). A remand is in order so that the Immigration Judge may
properly affrd te respondent the opportty to apply fr relief. Accordngly, te record is
remaded to the Immigraton Judge fr fer proceedings consistent with the fregoing opinion
ad fr the entry of a new decision.
