Case Name: Yumin Xiang v. Loretta E. Lynch

Focus: Asylum

Yumin Xiang is a 46-year-old female citizen of the People’s Republic of China petitioning for review of an order upholding the denial of her application for asylum and withholding of removal. Her request for asylum was denied both initially by the Immigration Judge (“IJ”) and on appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) based on the IJ’s finding that Xiang’s written request and oral testimony contained inconsistencies. Xiang now seeks review of the BIA’s decision.
