Fuentes-Sambula v. Keisler, No. 06-4640-ag, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT, November 13, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: The alien's petition for review was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Because the BIA did not address the alien's claims for temporary protected status and adjustment of status, and was under no obligation to do so, the issue was not exhausted in the administrative process, and the court lacked jurisdiction to review these claims for relief.

Overview: The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Chinese aliens' motion to reopen; despite one alien's claims that she had been forcibly sterilized, the record indicated that she gave birth to a third child after allegedly being sterilized, and testimony as to tubal sterilization failures was insufficient to show she had been forcibly sterilized.
