Arturo Alvarado* was being persecuted for his political beliefs. He fled his country and came to the United States to avoid being executed for those beliefs. If he was not allowed to stay in the U.S., he would be deported to his native country where he faced certain death at the hand of its government.
The United States Immigration authorities couldn’t be absolutely sure that Mr. Alvarado was telling them the truth. He may have been honest or, then again, he may have been making up a story for the sole purpose of immigrating under false pretenses. An Immigration Judge had the power to grant Mr. Alvarado political asylum and allow him to remain in the U.S. However, the judge needed some objective evidence that his story was the truth.
The only proven scientific technique that could verify Mr. Alvarado’s story was a polygraph examination utilizing the Utah Zone of Comparison Test. If he passed the test, it would provide the necessary documentation of his persecution and his well-founded fear. In short, the passing polygraph test provided corroborating evidence per the Federal REAL ID Act of 2005, and paved the way for Mr. Alvarado to remain in the United States, safe and secure from the government officials in his native country who would kill him for his political beliefs.
In order to impress an Immigration Judge that the polygraph test is legitimate, it should only be conducted by a leading professional examiner who has impeccable academic and professional credentials. This test is too important to be done by anyone but the best!
