need not be high and indeed may as low as a ten
percent chance of persecution to establish a wellfounded fear. INS v. Cardoza-Fonseca, 480 U.S. 421,
(1987); Huang, 421 F.3d at 129.
In

a

eligibility for asylum or a “realistic chance” that
she

on
the
merits
of
the
claim.
Poradisova v. Gonzales, 420 F.3d 70, 78 (2d Cir.
2005). A prima facie asylum case may be established
by
“objective
evidence
showing
a
reasonable
likelihood” that she will face future persecution
based on a protected ground. Sevoian v. Ashcroft,
290 F.3d 166, 175 (3d Cir. 2002); See also Lin v.
Gonzales, 186 Fed.Appx. 161 (2d Cir. 2006). This
Court has made clear that a well-founded fear of
future persecution from which a prima facie case
for asylum may be made must have “solid support”
and be more than mere speculation. Huang 421 F.3d
at 129.
