United States Ninth Circuit

The petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA) decision finding that petitioner waived and abandoned her applications for relief, and that she was ineligible for a waiver of removability or inadmissibility, is denied, where: 1) a deadline may lawfully be imposed upon an application for relief under the Convention Against Torture, and in this case neither the Immigration Judge nor the BIA abused discretion in holding that petitioner waived her applications; and 2) petitioner is not an inadmissible alien eligible for a waiver under 8 U.S.C. section 1227(a)(1)(H), because her charge of removability is not waivable by that section, and because she was being deported based on her conviction for falsifying documents, not because she was inadmissible at entry.
