Agyeman

MEMORANDUM *

1. The Immigration Judge (IJ) did not deny petitioner Emmanuel Senyo Agyeman due process upon remand. The death of Agyeman’s wife and his subsequent failure to file a timely widower petition under 8 C.F.R. § 204.2 (b)(l)(ii) constitute “good and sufficient cause” supporting the agency’s revocation of the visa petition under 8 U.S.C. § 1155 . See Tongatapu Woodcraft Hawaii, Ltd. v. Felman, 736 F.2d 1305, 1309 (9th Cir.1984). Agyeman thus became ineligible for relief before remand proceedings commenced, see 8 U.S.C. § 1255 , such that the agency had no obligation to reach the issue of whether Agyeman’s marriage was bona fide. See Simeonov v. Ashcroft, 371 F.3d 532, 538 (9th Cir.2004) (“As a general rule courts and agencies are not required to make findings on issues the decision of which is unnecessary to the results they reach.”) (citation omitted). Accordingly, the IJ acted within the dictates of this court’s remand instructions.

2. The IJ did not err by declining Agyeman’s request for equitable tolling of the limitations period. The record does not reflect that Agyeman exercised the diligence required to merit equitable tolling. See Socop-Gonzalez v. INS, 272 F.3d…
