The BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Singh’s motion to reopen as
untimely where the motion was filed over three years after the BIA’s final order,
see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2), and Singh failed to present sufficient evidence of
changed circumstances in India to qualify for the regulatory exception to the time
limit for filing motions to reopen, and where an affidavit presented by Singh failed
to overcome the immigration judge’s prior adverse credibility finding, see 8 C.F.R.
§ 1003.2(c)(3)(ii); Toufighi, 538 F.3d at 996-97 (petitioner failed to establish a
prima facie case for relief in light of the immigration judge’s conclusive findings
on his underlying claim).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
