View this case - free  

Overview: Alien failed to establish eligibility for asylum where IJ's finding that alien failed to meet his burden of proof was supported by substantial evidence, under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252(b)(4)(B), because, inter alia, alien gave conflicting testimony, and passport he entered into evidence provided substantial support for inference that passport was genuine.
