PER CURIAM:

        Bi Fang Lin, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, petitions for

review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing Lin’s appeal of the

immigration judge’s denial of her applications for asylum, withholding of removal, and

protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), and ordering her removed to

China. We dismiss the petition for review in part for lack of jurisdiction and deny it in

part.

        First, as the Attorney General aptly observes, some of the specific contentions that

Lin asserts in this court were not presented in her appeal to the Board. We thus lack

jurisdiction to review those particular lines of argument because they were not

administratively exhausted. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1) (2012) (“A court may review a

final order of removal only if . . . the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies

available to the alien as of right.”); Kporlor v. Holder, 

, 226 (4th Cir. 2010)

(“It is well established that an alien must raise each argument to the [Board] before we

have jurisdiction to consider it.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). We have reviewed

the exhausted arguments that Lin presses on appeal in light of the administrative record,

including the transcript of Lin’s merits hearing and all supporting evidence. Despite

Lin’s insistence to the contrary, the record evidence does not compel a ruling contrary to

any of the administrative factual findings, see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B) (2012)—




                                             2
including the immigration judge’s adverse credibility finding, * which the Board wholly

affirmed—and substantial evidence supports the denial of relief in this case, see INS v.

Elias–Zacarias, 

, 481 (1992). Finally, we conclude that Lin has waived

appellate review of the agency’s rulings on her future persecution claim and her claim for

relief under the CAT by failing to raise any arguments in her brief related to the

disposition of those claims. See Suarez-Valenzuela v. Holder, 

, 248-49 (4th

Cir. 2013) (deeming issues not raised in opening brief waived).

      Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review in part for lack of jurisdiction and

deny the petition in part for the reasons stated by the Board. See In re Lin (B.I.A. July

26, 2016). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                           PETITION DENIED IN PART
                                                            AND DISMISSED IN PART




      *
        We review credibility determinations for substantial evidence, affording broad—
though not unlimited—deference to the agency’s credibility findings. Ilunga v. Holder,

, 206 (4th Cir. 2015); Camara v. Ashcroft, 

, 367 (4th Cir.
2004).
