Petitioner v Board of Immigration
Petitioner seeks review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirming without opinion an order of an immigration judge ("IJ") denying his application for asylum and other relief. The IJ found that petitioner's testimony, in which he claimed to fear persecution because of China's family planning policy, was not credible. Petitioner argues that (1) the IJ erred in finding petitioner not credible with regard to his claim of past persecution and (2) the IJ erred as a matter of law in concluding that petitioner's having fathered two children in China is not itself grounds for a well-founded fear of future persecution entitling him to relief.
