Adverse credibility decision

Sinani v. Holder, No. 09-4176 (6th Cir. Apr. 20, 2011) (unpublished)

The court affirmed the denial of this Albanian asylum case.  The decision was premised on an adverse credibility finding.  The decision is notable for the rejection of two reasons for the adverse credibility determination: whether the alien had applied for a visa before coming to the U.S. and because her written application said she was "physically abused" and she later said she was raped.
