Yueru Deng v. Eric Holder, Jr.

MEMORANDUM

Yueru Deng, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s order finding Deng removable and denying his application under 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(B) for waiver of the joint filing requirement to remove the conditional basis of his lawful permanent resident status. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence the agency’s denial of a waiver under 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(B). Damon v. Ashcroft, 360 F.3d 1084, 1087 (9th Cir.2004). We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Deng’s application for waiver under 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(B), where Deng did not meet his burden of demonstrating that he entered into his marriage to his former United States citizen spouse in good faith. See 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(to establish eligibility for this waiver, the alien must demonstrate that “the qualifying marriage was entered into in good faith by the alien spouse”).

Deng’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
