substantial evidence supports a finding by clear and convincing evidence” that
petitioner is removable, Nakamoto v. Ashcroft, 363 F.3d 874, 881-82 (9th Cir.
2004), we deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s conclusion that Wang entered her
marriage for the purpose of procuring an immigration benefit where Wang’s
citizen-spouse testified that their marriage was never consummated and where
Wang and her citizen-spouse never lived together in the United States. See id. at
882-83 (relevant inquiry is whether parties intended to establish a life together at
the time of marriage).
Wang’s remaining contentions are unavailing.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
