Overview: The petition for review was denied. The BIA properly held that the alien did not qualify for naturalization.

View this case - free  

Overview: The court lacked jurisdiction to consider petitioner's challenge to a BIA decision to vacate an IJ's decision granting petitioner waiver of inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1182(c) (repealed) because balancing factors and finding that petitioner's outstanding equities did not outweigh his criminal history was an exercise of the BIA's discretion.
