The following excerpt is from Thomas v. Ashcroft, 359 F.3d 1169 (9th Cir. 2004):
"An alien's `well-founded fear of persecution' must be both subjectively genuine and objectively reasonable." Nagoulko v. I.N.S., 333 F.3d 1012, 1016 (9th Cir.2003). An alien satisfies the subjective component by credibly testifying that she genuinely fears persecution.
