Ruslana Melnik and Mykhaylo Gnatyuk, a married couple who are citizens of Ukraine, petition for review of decisions of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”). The Board dismissed their appeal from the decision of an immigration judge, denying their applications for asylum and ordering their removal from the United States. The Board also denied their subsequent motions to reconsider the dismissal and to reopen proceedings, as well as their motions to reconsider those denials. We have consolidated their timely petitions for review. For the reasons set forth in this opinion, we deny the petitions.
