We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, see Bandari v. INS, 227 F.3d 1160, 1165 (9th Cir.2000), and grant the petition for review and remand.

We grant the petition for review because the adverse credibility determination, including the findings regarding omissions, demeanor and supporting documents, are not supported by substantial evidence.
