        Yuan Fu Sun, a native and citizen of Taiwan, petitions for review of the

review for substantial evidence the agency’s factual findings. Khodagholian v.

Ashcroft, 335 F.3d 1003, 1006 (9th Cir. 2003). We deny the petition for review.

       Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Sun

compel the conclusion that he harbored a continuous, uninterrupted intention to

return to the United States during the entirety of his 15-year absence. Id. at 1007.

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
