    In 2014, the BIA issued two decisions that attempted to clarify the meanings of social visibility and particularity. See Matter of M-E-V-G-, 26 I. & N. Dec. 227 (BIA 2014); Matter of W-G-R-, 26 I. & N. Dec. 208 (BIA 2014). In these cases, the BIA renamed social visibility as social distinction and explained that literal visibility is not required.
