Document:
Martin Avila Robles, Esq., Law Office of Martin Resendez Guajardo, P.C., San Francisco, CA, for Petitioner.
On Petitions for Review of Orders of the Board of Immigration Appeals. Agency No. A075-695-238.
Before: O'SCANNLAIN, TALLMAN, and BEA, Circuit Judges.
In these consolidated petitions, Kamal-deep Kaur Sandhu, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' ("BIA") orders dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge's ("IJ") removal order and denying her motion to reopen. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency's finding of removability, Nakamoto v. Ashcroft, 363 F.3d 874, 881 (9th Cir. 2004), and review de novo questions of law, Mohammed v. Gonzales, 400 F.3d 785, 791 (9th Cir. 2005). We deny the petitions for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency's determination that the government met its burden of proving Sandhu was removable under 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(1)(A) for being inadmissible under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(6)(C)(i) at the time of entry where the evidence before the IJ included her sworn affidavit admitting she had married her brother-in-law in order to enter the United States and an approved fiancee visa petition filed on her behalf by her brother-in-law. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(3)(A). The admission of her sworn affidavit was not fundamentally unfair. See Espinoza v. INS, 45 F.3d 308, 309 (9th Cir. 1995); Cuevas-Ortega v. INS, 588 F.2d 1274, 1277-78 (9th Cir. 1979).
Sandhu has waived challenge to the BIA's October 16, 2007, order denying her motion to reopen.
