Heading: Pergega's past persecution and well-founded fear of future persecution claims

Text: 66 The BIA based its decision solely on Pergega's alleged lack of credibility. In light of our reversal of the BIA's credibility determination, we remand to the BIA for further consideration of Pergega's claims of past persecution and well-founded fear of future persecution. See Sylla, 388 F.3d at 930 (finding that the record did not support the BIA's adverse credibility finding and remanding the case to the BIA for further proceedings); Huang v. Ashcroft, 113 Fed.Appx. 695, 700 n. 4 (6th Cir.2004) (unpublished) (noting that when the court reverses an adverse credibility finding, remand to determine whether [the petitioner] qualifies as a refugee is the appropriate remedy); see also INS v. Orlando Ventura, 537 U.S. 12, 16-17, 123 S.Ct. 353, 154 L.Ed.2d 272 (2002) ([A] court of appeals should remand a case to an agency for decision of a matter that statutes place primarily in agency hands. This principle has obvious importance in the immigration context.).
