# How Can IJ Find Lack of Credibility?

### THREE MAIN REASONS

#### 1. Lack of Detail

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If the Applicant provides answers that lack specific details, dates, times, descriptions of people and what they were wearing, etc. </span>

> **This is probably the most common reason cited.**

#### <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">2. Implausibility </span>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The story the Applicant tells seems implausible. </span>

#### <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Inconsistencies </span>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Testimony in Court is not consistent with written statement, I-589, or what was said at credible fear interview. Or something you said in the beginning of your testimony does not match something you said later in your testimony. </span>

> **This is probably tied for the most common reason cited.**
