faith. We have jurisdic tion under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1) , see Oropeza

- Wong v.
Gonzales , 406 F.3d 1135, 1142

– 47 (9th Cir. 2005) , and deny the petition for review

. We review both the Immigration Judge’s and the BIA ’s (collectively, Agency)
decisions because the BIA cited Matter of Burbano , 20 I

. & N. Dec. 872, 874 (BIA 1994) , and provide d its own analysis of the law and the record. See Cordoba v. Barr , 962 F.3d 479, 481 (9th Cir. 2020)

. We review the Agency’s findings of fact for
substantia l evidence and may not reverse them unless Baculio establishes that “any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); Etemadi v. Garland , 12 F.4th 1013, 1020 (9th Cir. 2021)

. Baculio argues that the Agency ignored his “compelling and uncontroverted
evidence” that he entered his marriage in good faith , and that he adequately explained the absence of “some documents , ”

— for example, that he did not file a joint tax return because his ex

- wife refused to cooperate with him. Baculio also
asserts that his evidence demonstrates that he and his wife led a shared life. Specifically, he contends that being an authorized driver under the insurance policy
for his ex - wife’s car “unqu estioningly proves sharing of property , ” and that his ex

wife ’s use of money from the joint bank account into which Baculio’s paycheck was deposited ( an assertion that he was unable to corroborate at his hearing ) “is sharing.”
Neither Baculio’s arguments nor the evidence on which he relies establish that the agency would be compelled to conclude that he and his ex

- wife married in good3

faith with the intent ion to share a life together

. Baculio offered no evidence of the couple’s shared experiences during their brief marriage or of an intention to establish

a shared life

. See Matter of Soriano , 19 I. & N. Dec. 764, 766 (BIA 1988). For example, he described “sponsors” who tr ied to help the couple with their marriage
issues but provided no testimony o r declarations from those sponsors. H is sister
testified that Baculio told her he was having marriage difficulties , but she did not offer any details about the couple’s intention to make a life together. Likewise, despite his assertions otherwise, the reco rd does not establish that the couple had comingled finances

. Quite the opposite. Finally, Baculio is incorrect that the Agency “disregarded” evidence of his
and his ex

- wife’s relationship prior to the ir marriage. The Agency considered all the evidence Baculio presented, including the evidence from before his marriage, but concluded that this evidence was outweighed by the circumstances of the marriage and the lack of a shared life together afterward.
Un der these circumstances, we must accept as conclusive the Agency’s finding that Baculio and his ex

- wife did not enter their marriage in good faith

. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B)

. PETITION DENIED
