Description
Petitioner Yue Xia Chen ("Chen") petitions for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. The focus of Chens argument is that she was subject to a forced abortion which made her eligible for refugee status in this country. The principal issue on this Petition for Review is whether the Immigration Judge ("IJ") properly determined that her testimony on this issue lacked credibility and was insufficiently corroborated. Although we find that the IJ did not make the separate credibility finding required by In re S-M -J-, 21 I. & N. Dec. 722, Interim Decision 3303 (BIA 1997), 1997 WL 80984, his decision to deny the Petition for Review based on a determination that Chen did not meet her burden of proof by adequately corroborating her story was a proper application of the principles set forth in Abdulai v. Ashcroft, 239 F.3d 542, 554 (3d Cir. 2001).
