How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an asylum applicant’s ‘failure to remember non-material details [about his mistreatment] cannot form the basis of an adverse credibility finding’
• holding that “[a]ny alleged inconsistencies in dates that reveal nothing about a petitioner’s credibility cannot form the basis of an adverse credibility finding”
• holding that an IJ’s conjecture and speculation are inadequate bases for a negative credibility finding
• holding that minor discrepancies in dates that “reveal nothing about [a petitioner’s] fear of his safety ... cannot form the basis of an adverse credibility finding.”
• holding that petitioner was attacked by police not because he violated a neutral law against public displays of affection but because he was in an interfaith relationship
• holding that an IJ’s belief about the German government’s policies on educating foreign citizens was pure speculation and thus was an impermissible basis for an adverse credibility finding
