United States First Circuit

A petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA) order denying petitioner's application for cancellation of removal is denied, where: 1) the type of visa petitioner possessed supports the BIA's determination that petitioner was properly classified as an alien crewman; 2) the circumstances surrounding petitioner's entry indicate that he arrived in the United States with the intention of working as a seaman; and thus, 3) petitioner was ineligible for cancellation of removal.
