*241 Petition denied by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

Sekou Sylla, a native and citizen of the Ivory Coast, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) adopting and affirming the immigration judge’s denial of his requests for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. *

In his petition for review, Sylla challenges the Board’s determination that he failed to establish eligibility for asylum. To obtain reversal of such a determination denying eligibility for relief, an alien “must show that the evidence he presented was so compelling that no reasonable factfinder could fail to find the requisite fear of .persecution.” INS v. Elias-Zacarias, 502 U.S. 478, 483-84, 112 S.Ct. 812, 117 L.Ed.2d 38 (1992). We have reviewed the evidence of record and conclude that Sylla fails to show that the evidence compels a contrary result. Accordingly, we cannot grant the relief that he seeks.

Sylla also challenges the Board’s denial of his motion to remand. We review the Board’s decision to deny a motion to remand for abuse of discretion. Obioha v. Gonzales, 431 F.3d 400, 408 (4th Cir. 2005). In view of the specific statutory language limiting a Visa Waiver Program participant’s ability to apply for any relief but asylum, 8 U.S.C. § 1187(b) (2000), we conclude that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Sylla’s motion to remand so that he could pursue adjustment of status.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED.
