§ 1186a(c)(4)(B) for waiver of the joint filing requirement to remove the
conditional basis of his lawful permanent resident status. We have jurisdiction
under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence the agency’s denial of
a waiver under 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(B). Damon v. Ashcroft, 360 F.3d 1084,
1087 (9th Cir. 2004). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s denial of Deng’s application for
waiver under 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(B), where Deng did not meet his burden of
demonstrating that he entered into his marriage to his former United States citizen
spouse in good faith. See 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(to establish eligibility for this
waiver, the alien must demonstrate that “the qualifying marriage was entered into
in good faith by the alien spouse”).
Deng’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
