   MEMORANDUM

Tokunbo Kufeji, a native and citizen of Nigeria, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying his application for adjustment of status. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo questions of law, Cerezo v. Mukasey, 512 F.3d 1163, 1166 (9th Cir.2008), as well as claims of due process violations, Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000). We deny the petition for review.

The agency properly denied Kufeji’s application for adjustment of status where he failed to show eligibility for an immigrant visa. See 8 C.F.R. § 1245.1(a) (applicants for adjustment of status must show they are eligible to receive an immigrant visa). Kufeji’s due process claim therefore fails. See Lata v. INS, 204 F.3d 1241, 1246 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring error to prevail on a due process challenge).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
