How courts have described this case

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

• holding that credibility finding that disre- gards asylum applicant’s evidence without explanation is not supported by substantial evidence
• holding that petitioner's failure to apply for asylum on his first visit to the United States was not relevant to the question of whether petitioner's testimony about the level of torture he endured was credible
• vacating adverse credibility finding based on IJ’s specula- tion that documents were forgery
• “Troubling to us is the surprising lack of regard for the rich record in this case coupled with the fact that at least parts of the IJ’s opinion appear to be a ‘cut and paste’ job from previous opinions.”
