   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3437
   Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Wollman, Circuit Judges] 
   Petition for Review - Immigration. An applicant for asylum has the burden 
   to corroborate an asylum claim, even if the uncorroborated testimony is 
   deemed credible, and the BIA did not exceed its authority by requiring 
   corroborating evidence for petitioner to meet his burden of proof; while 
   the BIA improperly substituted its own finding that there was no objective 
   evidence that petitioner had stated his political opinion to others, the 
   error was harmless because petitioner did not show he faced a 
   particularized threat of persecution; the BIA's ruling that petitioner is 
   ineligible for asylum is supported by substantial evidence; petitioner was 
   on notice that he needed to corroborate his claim of a particularized 
   threat of persecution, and there was no fundamental procedural error in 
   the case; even if there was, in order to obtain a reversal petitioner 
   would have to show prejudice, and he cannot do so.
