   MEMORANDUM

Maro Avdalyan, a native of Iran and citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, including the agency’s adverse credibility findings. Cortez-Pineda v. Holder, 610 F.3d 1118, 1124 (9th Cir.2010). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility finding based on the inconsistencies between Avdalyan’s asylum application and testimony regarding when she became a Jehovah’s Witness, whether her father or husband was persecuted as a Jehovah’s Witness, and her longest hospitalization. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1245 (9th Cir.2000) (significant and relevant discrepancies between asylum application and testimony supported adverse credibility finding). Avda-lyan’s explanations for these inconsistencies do not compel a contrary conclusion. See id.' Thus, in the absence of credible testimony, Avdalyan’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).

Finally, Avdalyan’s CAT claim fails because it is based on the same statements the agency found not credible, and the record does not otherwise compel the finding that it is more likely than not she would be tortured by or with the acquiescence of the government if returned to Armenia. See id. at 1156-57.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
