PER CURIAM:

       Faisal Amin, a native and citizen of Pakistan, petitions for review of an order of the

Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) dismissing his appeal from the immigration judge’s

decision denying his application for a good faith marriage waiver under 8 U.S.C.

§ 1186a(c)(4)(B) (2012) and ordering him removed to Pakistan. For the reasons set forth

below, we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.

       Amin first argues that the immigration judge abused his discretion in denying his

motion for a continuance where he had recently retained new counsel. An immigration

judge “may grant a continuance for good cause shown.” 8 C.F.R. § 1003.29 (2017). We

review the denial of a motion for a continuance for abuse of discretion. Lendo v. Gonzales,

, 441 (4th Cir. 2007); Onyeme v. INS, 

, 231 (4th Cir. 1998). We

“must uphold the [immigration judge]’s denial of a continuance ‘unless it was made

without a rational explanation, it inexplicably departed from established policies, or it

rested on an impermissible basis, e.g., invidious discrimination against a particular race or

group.’” 

(quoting 

).

       Based on our review of the record, we find no abuse of discretion in the agency’s

denial of a continuance in this case. In re Amin, (B.I.A. June 6, 2017). Although Amin

argues that the denial of a continuance violated his right to a full and fair hearing, this due

process argument fails on the ground that Amin does not explain what evidence counsel

would have submitted on his behalf or how counsel’s presentation at the hearing would

have been different if the continuance had been granted. See Rusu v. INS, 

,

320 (4th Cir. 2002) (holding that alien must show prejudice to establish a procedural due

                                              2
process violation and court “may only find prejudice when the rights of an alien have been

transgressed in such a way as is likely to impact the results of the proceedings” (alteration

and internal quotation marks omitted)).

       Amin also challenges the agency’s denial of his application for a good faith marriage

waiver. To the extend that Amin disputes the weight the agency gave his testimony and

supporting evidence or argues that the Board erred in failing to reweigh his evidence, we

lack jurisdiction to review his claims. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1186a(c)(4), 1252(a)(2)(B)(ii)

(2012); Upatcha v. Sessions, 

, 185-86 (4th Cir. 2017) (“[T]he courts have

bifurcated their analysis of the good faith marriage inquiry, deeming credibility

determinations and the weighing of evidence unreviewable but exercising jurisdiction over

the distinct legal question of whether the evidence ultimately credited and deemed weighty

by the agency meets the good faith standard.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). We

therefore dismiss this portion of the petition for review.

       We retain jurisdiction to consider Amin’s claim that the Board applied the wrong

standard of review by failing to consider de novo whether his evidence satisfied the good

faith standard. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D) (2012); 

. The Board,

however, cited the correct standards of review in its opinion, and there is no indication that

it applied the wrong standard in reviewing whether Amin’s evidence met the statutory

standard for a good faith marriage. We presume that the correct standard of review was

applied absent clear evidence to the contrary. See United States v. Chem. Found., 

, 14-15 (1926) (“The presumption of regularity supports the official acts of public officers,

and, in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, courts presume that they have properly

                                              3
discharged their official duties.”); Pilica v. Ashcroft, 

, 949 (6th Cir. 2004)

(“Absent evidence to the contrary, this Court presumes that the BIA applied the correct

standard of review.”).

       Finally, to the extent that Amin challenges the legal determination of whether his

credited evidence met the statutory standard for a good faith marriage, we retain

jurisdiction pursuant to § 1252(a)(2)(D). See 

. Based on our

review of the record, we agree that Amin failed to submit sufficient evidence to satisfy the

good faith standard under 8 U.S.C. § 1186a(c)(4)(B).            We therefore affirm this

determination for the reasons stated by the Board. In re Amin, (B.I.A. June 6, 2017).

       Accordingly, we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review. 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,
                                                                   DISMISSED IN PART
