On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted July 17, 2012 **
Before: SCHROEDER, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges
Baljit Kaur, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of
Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s
decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and
protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We review for

governing adverse credibility determinations created by the Real ID Act. Shrestha
v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039 (9th Cir. 2010). We have jurisdiction under 8
U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.
We reject Kaur’s challenge to the agency’s adverse credibility determination
because the record does not compel a finding of credibility given the many
discrepancies between her testimony and supporting documents. See id. at 1048
(adverse credibility finding reasonable under the totality of the circumstances);
Don v. Gonzales, 476 F.3d 738, 741-45 (9th Cir. 2007) (upholding adverse
credibility finding where “a reasonable factfinder could have reached this result”);
Wang v. INS, 352 F.3d 1250, 1257-58 (9th Cir. 2003) (upholding adverse
credibility finding based in part on inconsistencies between testimonial and
documentary evidence and concluding evidence presented did not compel contrary
result). Accordingly, in the absence of credible testimony, we deny the petition as
to Kaur’s asylum and withholding of removal claims. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348
F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003).
Finally, because Kaur’s CAT claim is based on the same statements the
agency found not credible, and she does not point to any other evidence in the
record that compels the conclusion that it is more likely than not she would be

CAT claim fails. See id. at 1156-57.
