of fact, and review de novo questions of law. Kim v. Holder, 603 F.3d 1100, 1102
(9th Cir. 2010). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s finding of removability by clear
and convincing evidence. See id. at 1103.
The agency did not err in concluding that petitioners were ineligible for a
waiver of inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(k) where they never possessed
immigrant visas. See Kyong Ho Shin v. Holder, 607 F.3d 1213, 1219 (9th Cir.
2010) (to be eligible for a waiver under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(k) an alien must possess
an immigrant visa).
Petitioners’ remaining contention is not persuasive.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
