Immigration
U visas; judicial review
The court does not have jurisdiction to review the denial of a petition for a U visa.
“The rule Torres- Tristan advocates here would, if adopted, create a new opportunity for an inadmissible alien subject to expedited removal to slow down the entire process by applying for a U Visa and a waiver of inadmissibility, and then to seek and obtain judicial review of those denials, no matter how weak the applications and challenges might be. See generally Kashani v. Nelson, 793 F.2d 818, 824-25 (7th Cir. 1986) (acknowledging congressional intent to expedite and consolidate review). We do not have jurisdiction to review the denial of Torres- Tristan’s application for a waiver of inadmissibility or his petition for a U Visa.
Dismissed.
