United States First Circuit

A Colombian National's request for review BIA's denial of her applications for withholding of removal and related relief is denied as the IJ's adverse credibility determination is supported by specific and persuasive findings. Moreover, with the petitioner's testimony discredited, there is very little evidence in the record to support petitioner's asylum claim.
