In Bopaka v. Garland, 123 F.4th 552 (1st Cir. 2024), the First Circuit ruled against the applicant on December 13, 2024.

The applicant said his father was an attorney, but the death certificate said his father was a chauffeur. The applicant said he had no children,
but later said he had a son.

Moral of the Story

To win your asylum case, be consistent. Do not first say one thing and later say something else.
