MEMORANDUM **
1. Abdol Amir Vahedi’s petition, although filed under the transitional rules of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, “shall be treated as if it had been filed as a petition for review under [8 U.S.C. § 1252].” REAL ID Act, Pub.L. No. 109-13, § 106(d), 119 Stat. 231, 311 (2005). We lack jurisdiction to review the BIA’s discretionary decisions to deny Vahedi’s applications for adjustment for status and for waiver of inadmissibility, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i), except for constitutional claims or questions of law, 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D).
2. Vahedi raises one claim over which we have jurisdiction: whether he was required to seek a waiver of admissibility. We decline to decide this issue; the BIA denied Vahedi’s application for adjustment of status as a matter of discretion, regardless of whether a waiver was required.
PETITION DISMISSED.
