PER CURIAM.


     Sabino Zuniga-Lopez filed this petition for review of a Board
of Immigration Appeals (BIA) deportation order.       We deny the
petition.


     Zuniga-Lopez, a Mexican citizen, obtained legal permanent
resident status in the United States in September 1990.          In
November 1993, the Immigration and Naturalization Service issued
Zuniga-Lopez an order to show cause why he should not be deported
pursuant to Section 241(a)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality
Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. § 1251 (a)(2)(C) (concerning firearms
convictions), on the basis of his state conviction for carrying
weapons.    An immigration judge ordered Zuniga-Lopez deported,
concluding that he was deportable because he was convicted of a
crime which constituted a firearms offense.     The BIA rejected
Zuniga-Lopez's appeal from the deportation order.


     We review for abuse of discretion BIA denials of claims for
relief from deportation. Immigration and Naturalization Serv. v.
Doherty, 

, 323-24 (1992). The BIA did not abuse its
discretion in concluding that Zuniga-Lopez's conviction record
provided clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence of his
deportability for a firearms offense under section 241(a)(2)(C).
See 8 U.S.C. § 1251(a)(2)(C); Torabpour v. INS, 

, 1122
(8th Cir. 1982) (BIA findings of fact conclusive if supported by
reasonable, substantial, and probative evidence).


     The BIA also did not abuse its discretion in determining that
Zuniga-Lopez did not qualify for suspension of deportation under
section 244(a)(2) of the INA, because he failed to meet the
statutory requirement of ten years post-offense physical presence,
having pleaded guilty to committing the firearms offense in May
1993.   See 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a)(2).     Nor did the BIA abuse its
discretion in refusing Zuniga-Lopez an adjustment of status
pursuant to section 245(a) of the INA, because he produced no
evidence of the required adjustment application.     See 8 U.S.C.
§ 1255(a)(1); Perwolf v. INS, 

, 1111 (8th Cir. 1984).
We will not consider new evidence, as our consideration of a
petition for review is limited to the administrative record and
findings of fact. See White v. INS, 

, 1315 (8th Cir.
1993), cert. denied, 

(1994).


     Finally, we see no abuse of discretion in the BIA's denial of
a section 212(c) waiver, because Zuniga-Lopez failed to establish
the seven years of lawful domicile required by the INA, having not
shown (or asserted) that he had lawful status before he became a
permanent resident in 1990. See 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c); Raya-Ledesma
v. INS, 

, 419-20 (9th Cir. 1994) (plaintiff not

                               -2-
eligible for § 212(c) waiver of deportation because not lawful
permanent resident for seven years).


    Accordingly, Zuniga-Lopez's petition for review is denied.
