WARDLAW, Circuit Judge.

Petitioners, Fahim Kaiser ("Kaiser"), his wife, and their two minor children, natives and citizens of Pakistan, petition for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirming the denial of their applications for asylum and withholding of removal. We hold that the BIA erred in denying asylum eligibility, but affirm the BIA's denial of withholding of deportation.
