The judge cited inconsistencies in Kyolyan’s statements and concluded that he had not sufficiently demonstrated a well-founded fear of persecution. Kyolyan subsequently appealed the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the case was then escalated to the [specific appellate court, if applicable]. The appellate court reviewed the record, focusing on substantive legal issues such as the standard of proof for asylum claims and the assessment of credibility by the lower court. **Outcome:** The appellate court's decision [insert outcome: upheld the lower court’s decision, reversed the decision, or remanded the case].
