Plaintiff-Appellant Carine Liliane Umuzayire appeals from the district court’s dismissal of her declaratory-judgment action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Umuzayire argues that the district court had jurisdiction to review her asylum application.

Because Umuzayire is required to exhaust her administrative remedies by re *652 newing her request for asylum in the context of removal proceedings, the district court did not have jurisdiction over the present case. See Kashani v. Nelson, 793 F.2d 818, 826-27 (7th Cir. 1986). As the district court lacked jurisdiction, we too lack jurisdiction and therefore must dismiss Umuzayire’s appeal.

AFFIRMED DISMISSED.
