   MEMORANDUM

Ricardo Valdivias-Herrera, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order of removal. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings and apply the standards governing adverse credibility determinations created by the Real ID Act. Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039-40 (9th Cir.2010). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252, and we deny the petition for review.

Because Valdivias-Herrera has not challenged the IJ’s determination that he has been convicted of an aggravated felony that was a particularly serious crime, he is not eligible for asylum or withholding of removal, and his only potential avenue for relief is deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1158(b)(2)(A)(ii), 123 l(b)(3)(B)(ii); 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c) & (d); Arbid v. Hold er, 700 F.3d 379, 385 (9th Cir.2012); Lemus-Galvan v. Mukasey, 518 F.3d 1081, 1083 (9th Cir.2008).

Valdivias-Herrera contends that the agency’s adverse credibility finding was not supported by the evidence. We reject this contention. The agency’s adverse credibility determination is supported by substantial evidence based on the totality of the circumstances, including the glaring inconsistencies between the statements in Valdivias-Herrera’s asylum application and the statements in his testimony concerning the reasons he feared being tortured and killed. See Shrestha, 590 F.3d at 1040-44, 1046-47; see also Zamanov v. Holder, 649 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir.2011) (recognizing that alterations in basis of claim for persecution between an asylum application and subsequent testimony support an adverse credibility determination).

The BIA applied the correct standard when it ruled on Valdivias-Herrera’s request for deferral of removal under CAT. Because his testimony was not credible and there is no other evidence showing it is more likely than not he will be tortured if returned to Mexico, his CAT claim fails. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(4)(B); Shrestha, 590 F.3d at 1048-49; Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156-57 (9th Cir.2003).

Valdivias-Herrera’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
