Zhanbo Yang v. Loretta E. Lynch
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Yanfang Wang, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility determinations created by the REAL ID Act, Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039-40 (9th Cir. 2010), and deny the petition for review.
This court’s review is limited to the information in the administrative record. See Fisher v. INS, 79 F.3d 955, 963 (9th Cir. 1996) (en banc).
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination based on inconsistencies between Wang’s testimony and medical records as to the hospitals that treated her and her husband, and her inconsistent testimony regarding her request for an extension of maternity leave. See Shrestha, 590 F.3d at 1048 (adverse credibility finding reasonable under the totality of the circumstances). In the absence of credible testimony, Wang’s asylum claim fails.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
