View this case - free  

Overview: Although the IJ's decisions contained factual findings that were based on gross speculation, the IJ rested his denial of asylum under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1158 on the sustainable grounds that there was a material inconsistency between the alien's testimony and application, and that the alien lacked corroborative evidence that met his burden of proof.

Gjika v. Chertoff, No. 05-1060-ag NAC, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, March 7, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Denial of asylum relief was affirmed under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252 because even assuming the petitioner had established past persecution, his own admissions concerning his release from an Albanian prison were sufficient to rebut any presumption of and preclude him from establishing a well-founded fear of future persecution under 8 C.F.R. § 1208.13(b).

View this case - free  

Overview: Alien's petition for review of the denial of motion to reconsider was denied where there was no abuse of discretion in BIA's holding that it had not impermissibly denied relief based on lack of corroborating evidence, and it was not arbitrary or capricious to find that adverse credibility determination was supported by inconsistencies in testimony.
