Does a fact-finder have to credit an applicant's explanation that his wife omitted details in a letter because she was afraid that the police would read the letter?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Wenlei Li v. Holder, 10-1396(L), 11-2890(Con) NAC (2nd Cir. 2014):
reasonable fact-finder would be compelled to credit his explanation that his wife omitted details because she was afraid that the police would read the letter, as she included details of the authorities' visits to their home. See Majidi v. Gonzales, 430 F.3d 77, 80-81 (2d Cir. 2005) (holding that the agency need not credit an applicant's explanations for inconsistent testimony unless those explanations would compel a reasonable fact-finder to do so).
