TA9-06916

Significant, unexplained omissions and late, material amendments to the PIF that go to the heart of the claim, combined with authenticated identity documentation and corroborating witness evidence that the PIF was translated, undermine the claimant's credibility and leave no objective basis to find a well‑founded fear of persecution or risk of serious harm; therefore claim fails.
