Amoldo Salgado, a native and citizen of El Salvador, petitions for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals finding him ineligible to seek suspension of deportation. “We have jurisdiction to review the BIA’s denial of eligibility for suspension of deportation based on a finding that petitioner is statutorily barred from showing good moral character.” Urzua Covarrubias v.

The records unequivocally establish that the prior conviction falls in an 8 U.S.C. § 1182 (a) (2)(A)(i) category. See, e.g., United States v. Corona-Sanchez, 291 F.3d 1201, 1211 (9th Cir.2002) (en banc), superseded on other grounds by U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2, cmt. n. 4 (2002). Accordingly, 8 U.S.C. § 1101 (f)(3)…
