Overview: IJ's determination that alien was not credible was supported by substantial evidence, under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252(b)(4)(B), where alien failed to mention in his airport interview the alleged abortion that he detailed in his asylum application, and airport interview was a reliable and, thus, appropriate source of evidence for IJ's credibility finding.

Overview: Alien's petition for judicial review of his asylum application, pursuant to 8 U.S.C.S. § 1158, was denied because substantial evidence, pursuant to 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252(b)(4)(B), supported an immigration judge's finding that the alien was either a citizen of Nepal, or else had firmly resettled there.

Alien failed to corroborate claim.
