EOIR BIA Decision

The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a decision in Matter of G-C-I-, 29 I&N Dec. 176 (BIA 2025).

(1) A respondent’s nonresponsive and evasive testimony, including when related to the issue of corroboration, supports an adverse credibility determination.

(2) A lack of corroboration may be an independent basis to find that a respondent has not met his burden of proof to establish a claim for asylum or withholding of removal.
