the applicant to establish that the applicant is a
refugee, within the meaning of section
101(a)(42)(A). To establish that the applicant is
a refugee within the meaning of such section, the
applicant must establish that race, religion,
nationality, membership in a particular social
group, or political opinion was or will be at
least one central reason for persecuting the
applicant.
``(ii) Sustaining burden.--The testimony of
the applicant may be sufficient to sustain the
applicant's burden without corroboration, but only
if the applicant satisfies the trier of fact that
the applicant's testimony is credible, is
persuasive, and refers to specific facts
sufficient to demonstrate that the applicant is a
refugee. In determining whether the applicant has
met the applicant's burden, the trier of fact may
weigh the credible testimony along with other
evidence of record. Where the trier of fact
determines that the applicant should provide
evidence that corroborates otherwise credible
testimony, such evidence must be provided unless
the applicant does not have the evidence and
cannot reasonably obtain the evidence.
``(iii) Credibility determination.--
Considering the totality of the circumstances, and
all relevant factors, a trier of fact may base a
credibility determination on the demeanor, candor,
or responsiveness of the applicant or witness, the
inherent plausibility of the applicant's or
witness's account, the consistency between the
applicant's or witness's written and oral
statements (whenever made and whether or not under
oath, and considering the circumstances under
which the statements were made), the internal
consistency of each such statement, the
consistency of such statements with other evidence
of record (including the reports of the Department
of State on country conditions), and any
inaccuracies or falsehoods in such statements,
without regard to whether an inconsistency,
inaccuracy, or falsehood goes to the heart of the
applicant's claim, or any other relevant factor.
There is no presumption of credibility, however,
if no adverse credibility determination is
explicitly made, the applicant or witness shall
have a rebuttable presumption of credibility on
appeal.''.

sustained the alien's burden of proof, and shall make
credibility determinations, in the manner described in

protection from removal has the burden of proof to
establish that the alien--
``(i) satisfies the applicable eligibility
requirements; and
``(ii) with respect to any form of relief that
is granted in the exercise of discretion, that the
alien merits a favorable exercise of discretion.
``(B) Sustaining burden.--The applicant must comply
with the applicable requirements to submit information
or documentation in support of the applicant's
application for relief or protection as provided by law
or by regulation or in the instructions for the
application form. In evaluating the testimony of the
applicant or other witness in support of the
application, the immigration judge will determine
whether or not the testimony is credible, is persuasive,
and refers to specific facts sufficient to demonstrate
that the applicant has satisfied the applicant's burden
of proof. In determining whether the applicant has met
such burden, the immigration judge shall weigh the
credible testimony along with other evidence of record.
Where the immigration judge determines that the
applicant should provide evidence which corroborates
otherwise credible testimony, such evidence must be
provided unless the applicant demonstrates that the
applicant does not have the evidence and cannot
reasonably obtain the evidence.
``(C) Credibility determination.--Considering the
totality of the circumstances, and all relevant factors,
the immigration judge may base a credibility
determination on the demeanor, candor, or responsiveness

statements (whenever made and whether or not under oath,

any other relevant factor. There is no presumption of

determination is explicitly made, the applicant or
witness shall have a rebuttable presumption of
credibility on appeal.''.
