NANSIK HWANG, No. 06-73383
Petitioner, Agency No. A072-970-149
v.
MEMORANDUM *
ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General,
Respondent.
On Petition for Review of an Order of the
Board of Immigration Appeals
Submitted September 27, 2011 **
Before: SILVERMAN, W. FLETCHER, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.
Nansik Hwang, a native and citizen of South Korea, petitions for review of
the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an
immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
We review de novo questions of law, Kim v. Holder, 603 F.3d 1100, 1102 (9th Cir.
2010), and we deny the petition for review.
The BIA did not err in concluding that Hwang was ineligible for a waiver of
inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(k) where she never possessed an immigrant
visa. See Kyong Ho Shin v. Holder, 607 F.3d 1213, 1219 (9th Cir. 2010) (to be
eligible for a waiver under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(k) an alien must possess an immigrant
visa).
Hwang’s remaining contention is not persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
