As the BIA explained, there were inconsistencies between Oli’s statement to the asylum officer during his credible fear interview (CFI) and his hearing testimony. The inconsistencies were a sufficient basis for the contested credibility determination. See Arulnanthy v. Garland, 17 F.4th 586, 593 (5th Cir. 2021); Avelar-Oliva v. Barr, 954 F.3d 757, 767 (5th Cir. 2020); 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(B)(ii).

The petition for review is DENIED.
