United States First Circuit

In a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals decision that petitioner did not enter into marriage in good faith, but rather for the sole purpose of circumventing immigration laws, the petition is denied where: 1) petitioner was afforded a fundamentally fair proceeding during which substantial evidence was presented for the IJ and the BIA to conclude that petitioner's first marriage was not entered into in good faith; and 2) there was no abuse of discretion in the BIA's decision to deny petitioner's motion to reopen due to his subsequent marriage to another US citizen.
