ERIC H. HOLDER, JR., U. S. ATTORNEY GENERAL,

                                                   Respondent


                        Petition for Review of an Order of the
                           Board of Immigration Appeals
                                 BIA No. A78 130 691


Before GARZA, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       The petitioner, Janet Bose Richardson, a native and citizen of Nigeria, has
filed a petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) order of
December 11, 2007, in which it determined that Richardson was ineligible for
adjustment of status under Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) § 245,
8 U.S.C. § 1255, and ordered her removed to Nigeria. On April 21, 2008, the BIA
denied Richardson’s Motion to Reopen. On October 15, 2008, the BIA, upon
limited remand from this court, clarified its December 11, 2007, decision.

       *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .
R. 47.5.4.
                                  No. 08-60003

Richardson argues that the BIA erred by determining that she was ineligible for
adjustment of status, the term “approvable when filed” as set forth in 8 C.F.R.
§ 1245.10(i) is ultra vires, the BIA lacked jurisdiction to order her removed, and
the BIA applied an incorrect standard of review.
      The Respondent relies upon Stone v. INS, 

, 405 (1995), and
argues that none of the three BIA orders are properly before this court. The
Respondent argues that Richardson filed a petition for review regarding only the
December 11, 2007, decision, which was remanded by this court, and Richardson
did not file a petition for review of any subsequent BIA decision.
      A timely petition for review is a jurisdictional requirement, and the lack
thereof deprives this court of jurisdiction to review a BIA decision. 8 U.S.C.
§ 1252(a)(1), (b)(1); Karimian-Kaklaki v. INS, 

, 111 (5th Cir. 1993).
In 

, 405-06, the Supreme Court held that the BIA’s
denial of an appeal and its denial of a motion to reconsider are two separate final
orders, each of which requires its own petition for review.
      Richardson’s sole petition for review was filed with this court on January
4, 2008.   The petition for review is timely only with respect to the BIA’s
December 11, 2007, decision. See § 1252(b)(1). As Richardson did not file a
petition for review of the BIA’s April 21, 2008, denial of her motion to reopen,
pursuant to Stone, this court does not have jurisdiction to review any challenge
to the April 21, 2008, denial of Richardson’s motion to reopen. See 

, 405-06. Nonetheless, this court has authority to order a limited
remand, while retaining jurisdiction, to obtain clarification regarding the
decision on review. See Wheeler v. City of Columbus, Miss., 

, 1154
(5th Cir. 1982).    This court’s limited remand thus did not result in the
relinquishment of jurisdiction by this court over Richardson’s petition for review
of the BIA’s December 11, 2007, decision. See 

court does not have jurisdiction to review the BIA’s decision
to deny Richardson’s I-485 application to adjust status. See § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i);

                                        2
                                  No. 08-60003

Ayanbadejo v. Chertoff, 

, 275, 276-78 & 277 n.11 (5th Cir. 2008);
Hadwani v. Gonzales, 

, 800 (5th Cir. 2006). Although this court is
not precluded from reviewing “constitutional claims” or “questions of law,” see
§ 1252(a)(2)(D), Richardson’s factual challenge to the BIA’s determination that
there was no evidence presented to show that the marriage at issue was bona
fide at its inception is neither a constitutional claim nor a question of law. See

n.11. This court therefore lacks jurisdiction to
consider this argument. See § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i), (D).
      Also, in the BIA proceedings that resulted in the BIA’s December 11, 2007,
decision, Richardson did not present her argument that the term “‘approvable
when filed’” as set forth in § 1245.10(i), is ultra vires. While Richardson raised
the ultra vires argument in her motion to reopen, this court lacks jurisdiction
over the BIA’s denial of Richardson’s motion to reopen because Richardson did
not seek review of this decision. See 

, 405-06. As
Richardson did not raise the ultra vires issue in the proceeding that led to the
December 11, 2007, decision, and she did not file a petition for review of the
BIA’s denial of her motion to reopen in which she did raise the issue, this court
lacks jurisdiction over this argument. See id.; Omari v. Holder, 

,
318-25 (5th Cir. 2009).
      Similarly, this court lacks jurisdiction over Richardson’s argument that
the BIA lacked jurisdiction to issue a removal order, as Richardson presented
this issue for the first time to the BIA in her motion to reopen, and she did not
file a petition for review of the BIA’s denial of her motion to reopen. See 

, 405-06; 

. Finally, Richardson did
not argue to the BIA that it applied the wrong standard of review and
erroneously engaged in fact finding when it issued its December 11, 2007, order.
Richardson therefore did not properly exhaust this issue, and this court lacks
jurisdiction to consider it. See 

.
      The petition for review is DISMISSED.
