Applies 8 U.S.C. § 1186A (§ 216 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran-Walter)) · 8 U.S.C. § 1252 (§ 242 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (McCarran-Walter))

Relies on Oropeza-Wong v. Gonzales

Decided 2010-06-08

¶1 MEMORANDUM …

¶2 Muhammad Parvez, a native and citizen of Pakistan, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) order finding Parvez removable and denying his application under 8 U.S.C. § 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 the waiver, Oropeza-Wong v. Gonzales, 406 F.3d 1135, 1147 (9th Cir.2005), and we deny the petition for review.

¶3 The IJ found Parvez not credible based on inconsistencies between Parvez and his ex-wife’s testimony regarding the nature and number of them marriage ceremonies and the consummation of their marriage. Because these inconsistencies go to the heart of whether the marriage was entered into in good faith, substantial evidence supports the denial of Parvez’s waiver application. See id. at 1148.

¶4 PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
