Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted June 15, 2011 **
Before: CANBY, O’SCANNLAIN, and FISHER, Circuit Judges.
Qingzhen Wang, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the
Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an
immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum and withholding
of removal. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for

substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings, applying the standards
governing adverse credibility determinations created by the REAL ID Act,
Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition
for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility determination
based on discrepancies between Wang’s testimony and her supporting
documentation regarding whether she continued to have contact with other church
members despite continuous police supervision, and where she was treated for her
alleged injuries. See id. at 1040-44 (adverse credibility determination was
reasonable under the REAL ID Act’s “totality of the circumstances”); Chebchoub
v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1043 (9th Cir. 2001) (adverse credibility determination
supported in part based on inconsistencies relating to the events leading up to
petitioner’s departure). In the absence of credible testimony, Wang’s asylum and
withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156
(9th Cir. 2003).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
