Tian further admitted that the statement in his initial asylum application that his wife had been forced to have an abortion was read back to him by his attorney and that he had not indicated that such fact was incorrect. In addition, contrary to Tian’s argument, the record does not indicate that the IJ erred in finding his attempted amendment of his application belated because he waited almost two years to file such correction. In finding him not credible, the IJ also reasonably relied on Tian’s failure to submit sufficient evidence corroborating his claim that family planning officials had detained and beaten him for not paying a fine.
