¶2 Nimish Shirish Dave and Jui Rohit Patel, 1 citizens of Canada, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ denial of their motion to reopen to consider an application for adjustment of status, 2 and their motion to reconsider that denial. 3 We deny the petitions.
¶3 Dave asserts that the BIA erred when it determined that he had not made out a prima facie case for adjustment of status pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1255(i)(l), (2). We disagree. Dave failed to present sufficient evidence that he had an approved labor certification. See 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(5)(A). Absent that, Dave could not spell out a prima facie case for relief because he needed that in order to obtain an immigrant visa, 4 which he, in turn, needed to obtain adjustment of status. 5 The BIA did not abuse its discretion. See Edu v. Holder, 624 F.3d 1137, 1142 n. 4 (9th Cir.2010); Ghahremani v. Gonzales, 498 F.3d 993, 997 (9th Cir.2007); see also INS v. Doherty, 502 U.S. 314, 323, 112 S.Ct. 719, 725, 116 L.Ed.2d 823 (1992).
¶4 Petitions DENIED.
