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 IJ’s statement that an applicant’s testimony was “extremely inconsistent” was not an express, or “clean,” credibility finding
• holding that the IJ’s references to Yang’s claim as a “ridiculous fabrication” and Yang’s testimony as “extremely inconsistent” did not constitute an adverse credibility finding
• holding that even where there is no explicit adverse credibility finding, an applicant’s weak testimony will underscore the need for corroborative evidence
• holding that an IJ did not make an explicit credibility finding when the IJ ref- erenced an applicant’s claims as extremely inconsistent and making no sense
• concluding that a single fine for the birth of second child that the Chinese alien did not dispute and paid within three days of the assessment did not amount to past persecution
• holding that an IJ’s statement that an applicant’s testimony was “extremely inconsistent and [made] absolutely no sense whatsoever” was not a clean credibility finding but a comment on the sufficiency of the evidence
