Heading: Inconsistency regarding time

Text: 26 The IJ noted an inconsistency between Zheng's testimony and Wen's letter regarding the time when officials took Wen away for the abortion: [Zheng] said that the birth control officials came to his house at 1:00 a.m. in the morning and took his wife[,][w]hereas the wife's letter states that the birth control officials came to his house about 11:00 p.m. Even assuming that the IJ is correct about the inconsistency in time, 6 a discrepancy of two hours is a minor inconsistency that cannot support an adverse credibility finding. See Vilorio-Lopez v. INS, 852 F.2d 1137, 1142 (9th Cir.1988) (concluding that inconsistencies between petitioner's and his cousin's testimony regarding the year when they were chased by a right-wing death squad and how long they hid in a third man's home that evening were minor inconsistencies that were not an adequate basis for an adverse credibility finding). 27
