Karen Roubenovich Gevorgyan, a native of the former Soviet Union, and a citizen of Armenia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”).

We lack jurisdiction to review the determination that Gevorgyan’s application for asylum was untimely because Gevor-gyan’s arrival date is an issue of disputed fact. See 8 U.S.C. § 1158 (a)(3); see also Ramadan v. Gonzales, 479 F.3d 646, 656-57 (9th Cir.2007) (per curiam).

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse credibility finding because the inconsistencies between Gevor-gyan’s testimony and the documentary and other evidence regarding his citizenship go to the heart of his claim.
