View this case - free  

Overview: The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying a Chinese alien's second motion to reopen, after a remand, because the documents in the record failed to demonstrate changed circumstances in China or support the alien's contention that Chinese citizens with more than one child born in the U.S. were at risk of being forcibly aborted or sterilized.

View this case - free  

Overview: Substantial evidence under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252(b)(4)(B) supported an adverse credibility finding to deny asylum for a Chinese alien since State Department reports contradicted his testimony as to enforcement of China's family planning policy, and his seaport interview contradicted his asylum materials and testimony regarding his reasons for leaving.

Overview: IJ properly denied alien's application for CAT relief.

View this case - free  

Overview: Chinese alien was not entitled to a petition for review of the denial of his immigration applications because he waived any challenge to an IJ's finding that he was not eligible to asylum and withholding of removal relief since he had successfully relocated within China, and he failed to raise any arguments as to the denial of his CAT relief claim.

View this case - free  

Overview: Albanian applicant's motion to reopen was untimely filed pursuant to 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c). No exceptions applied, as motion was not based on changed circumstances and BIA properly found that applicant's desire to apply for adjustment of status based on his marriage to a United States citizen did not constitute an exception to the filing deadline.

Overview: Under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1229a, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Indian citizen's motion to reopen where neither text of motion nor supporting documents demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the citizen was entitled to an adjustment in status; instead, the citizen could have raised relevant issues during asylum proceedings.
