Stopping Border Surges Act

(4) Renunciation of status pursuant to return to home country

(A) In general. Except as provided in subparagraph (B), any alien who has been granted asylum status under this Act shall have such status terminated if the alien—

(i) applied for such status because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution in that country on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion; and

(ii) absent changed country conditions, subsequently returns to the country of such alien’s nationality or, in the case of an alien having no nationality, returns to any country in which such alien last habitually resided.

(B) Waiver. The Secretary has discretion to waive the application of subparagraph (A) if it is established, to the satisfaction of the Secretary, that the alien had a compelling reason for returning to his or her country of nationality or last habitual residence. Such waiver may be sought prior to departing from the United States or upon the alien's return to the United States.
