MEMORANDUM *
Jose Hernandez-Villalobos (“Villalobos”) petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision denying his application for cancellation of removal. Villalobos also petitions this court to review the denial of his application for adjustment of status under the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (“IRCA”), Pub.L. No. 99-603,100 Stat. 3359.
The parties are familiar with the facts of the case, so we repeat them here only to the extent necessary to explain our decision. Because we do not have jurisdiction to review discretionary determinations of extreme and unusual hardship, Villalobos’s petition for review of the BIA decision denying his application for cancellation of removal is denied. 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (a)(2)(B)©; 8 ■ U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(D).
In 1987, Villalobos presented a completed application for adjustment of status un *674 der IRCA, along with the requisite filing fee, to Immigration and Naturalization Service (“INS”) officials. 1 The official staffing the front desk of the INS office erroneously informed Villalobos that he was not eligible for adjustment of status, and refused to process the application. 2
