Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Eun Ju Jegal-Kim, a native and citizen of South Korea, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

The agency properly determined that it lacked jurisdiction to consider Jegal-Kim’s application for a U Visa. See Ramirez Sanchez v. Mukasey, 508 F.3d 1254, 1255-56 (9th Cir. 2007) (per curiam) (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services has sole jurisdiction over the issuance of U Visa petitions); see also Lee v. Holder, 599 F.3d 973 (9th Cir. 2010) (per curiam).

Jegal-Kim’s remaining contention is not persuasive.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9 th Cir. R. 36-3.
