PER CURIAM:
Xian Feng Zhang, a native and citizen of the People’s
Republic of China, petitions for review of an order of the Board
of Immigration Appeals (“Board”) dismissing her appeal from the
immigration judge’s denial of her requests for asylum,
withholding of removal, and withholding under the Convention
Against Torture. We have thoroughly reviewed the record,
including the transcript of Zhang’s merits hearing, her
supporting statement, and her additional evidence. We conclude
that the record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to
any of the administrative findings of fact, see 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(b)(4)(B) (2012), and that substantial evidence supports
the adverse credibility finding. See Tewabe v. Gonzales, 446
F.3d 533, 538 (4th Cir. 2006). We further conclude that a
review of Zhang’s independent corroborating evidence does not
compel a different result.
Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the
reasons stated by the Board. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before this court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
