On Petition for Review of an Order of the

Submitted May 25, 2010 **

application under 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(B) for waiver of the joint-filing
requirement to remove the conditional basis of his lawful permanent resident
status. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial
evidence the agency’s denial of the waiver, Oropeza-Wong v. Gonzales, 406 F.3d
1135, 1147 (9th Cir. 2005), and we deny the petition for review.
The IJ found Parvez not credible based on inconsistencies between Parvez
and his ex-wife’s testimony regarding the nature and number of their marriage
ceremonies and the consummation of their marriage. Because these
inconsistencies go to the heart of whether the marriage was entered into in good
faith, substantial evidence supports the denial of Parvez’s waiver application. See
id. at 1148.
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
