The Eighth Circuit denied the petition for review, holding that substantial evidence supported the Board of Immigration Appeals’ finding that the petitioner falsely claimed U.S. citizenship on a Form I-9 when he applied for a job in 2009. Accordingly, the court found that the petitioner was inadmissible under INA §212(a)(6)(C)(ii)(I), and was thus ineligible for adjustment of status.
