Uthayarosa Paramasamy v. John Ashcroft, Attorney General

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the petitioner’s failure to raise sexual assault in two prior interviews did not support an adverse credibility determination
• holding that a minor inconsistency fails to support an adverse credibility finding
• finding that the IJ’s adverse credi bility determination reflected “the IJ’s ‘predisposition to discredit’ the testimony, rather than any lack of credibility on the part of the witnesses.”
• observing that the petitioner “was not asked in her airport interview about the details or conditions of her Army confinement, so her failure to mention the sexual assault there cannot be considered an inconsistency”
• “[T]he reliance on [an] improper factor further erodes our confidence in the existence of reasonable basis for the adverse credibility determination.”
