United States First Circuit


Atieh v. Riordan, 14-1947

In a petition for review of the Board of Immigrant Appeals' denial of Jordanian-native petitioner’s petition to grant her husband's lawful permanent resident status, denial is affirmed where when the BIA is faced with two plausible but conflicting inferences from a body of evidence, the BIA's choice between those inferences is by definition supported by substantial evidence.
