ERIC H. HOLDER Jr., Attorney General,

               Respondent.



                       On Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals

                              Submitted April 5, 2010 **

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, Nos. 07-71193 & 07-71916, 2010 WL 1131452 (9th Cir.

Mar. 25, 2010) (per curiam).

      Jegal-Kim’s remaining contention is not persuasive.

      PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
