Before SMITH, GRUENDER, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Sengendo Stephen Kaggwa, a Ugandan national, filed a Petition to Remove
Conditions on Residence (“Form I-751”). Alternatively, he requested voluntary
departure. Both were administratively denied. We deny the petition for review in part
and dismiss in part.

        Kaggwa came to the United States in October 2002, shortly after the death of
his first wife. The next month, he married Theresa Nakyanzi Senungi, a United States
citizen. Due to the marriage, Kaggwa received a conditional adjustment of status.
About two years later, he was required to reapply to make his resident status
permanent. He missed his scheduled interview with the Department of Homeland
Security. The government initiated removal proceedings. The Immigration Judge
(“IJ”) found that Kaggwa had married primarily for immigration reasons, so was
ineligible for a permanent adjustment of status. The IJ denied voluntary departure and
ordered him removed from the United States. The Board of Immigration Appeals
(“BIA”) dismissed his appeal.

       To the extent Kaggwa challenges the denial of status adjustment based on the
marriage finding, we have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(1). Factual findings
are affirmed “unless ‘any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to
the contrary.’” Hassen v. Mukasey, 

, 928 (8th Cir. 2008) (quoting 8
U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B)) (further citation omitted). “When the BIA has adopted and
affirmed the IJ’s adverse credibility determination, we defer to those findings if
‘supported by specific, cogent reasons for disbelief.’” Osonowo v. Mukasey, 

, 927 (8th Cir. 2008) (quoting Onsongo v. Gonzales, 

, 852 (8th Cir.
2006)).

      In analyzing Kaggwa’s reasons for marrying, the IJ relied on 8 U.S.C. §
1186a(c)(4), which governs hardship waivers for aliens failing to meet certain
conditions for adjustment of status. As the BIA recognized, Kaggwa does not show
he requested a hardship waiver; the proper reference point is 8 U.S.C. §
1186a(d)(1)(A)(i)(III), which lays out the facts required for a Form I-751. The IJ
analyzed the facts of Kaggwa’s marriage to Senungi and found that “there is
substantial evidence to indicate that [he] entered into his marriage primarily for the
purpose of obtaining immigration benefits.” Although the IJ cited § 1186a(c)(4), this
finding adequately connects the IJ’s decision to the proper subsection.

     The IJ’s conclusion on the marriage hinged on credibility. The IJ cited several
grounds, including material inconsistencies between the testimony of Kaggwa and

                                         -2-
Senungi. For instance, Kaggwa claimed not to have known Senungi in Uganda; he
stated that they first met and became romantically involved in 2002 in the United
States. Senungi testified that she knew him before 2002, having seen him several
times in Uganda in the 1990s. She also stated they became romantically involved in
1999 or 2000. Further, the IJ found that Kaggwa’s “decision to marry his current wife
on November 24, 2002, just a few weeks after the death of his first wife and his arrival
into the U.S., raises suspicion regarding the true nature and intent of his relationship
with his current wife.” These specific, cogent reasons adequately support the denial
of status adjustment.1

       Kaggwa also challenges the discretionary denial of voluntary departure. We
lack jurisdiction over this issue unless Kaggwa raises “a colorable constitutional claim
or question of law.” Garcia-Aguillon v. Mukasey, 

, 849 (8th Cir. 2008)
(citations omitted). See also 8 U.S.C. § 1229c(f). His voluntary-departure point rests
on the same argument he directs against the denial of his Form I-751, which at most
is “a challenge to the IJ’s discretionary and fact-finding exercises cloaked as a
question of law.” 

. We accordingly dismiss
Kaggwa’s voluntary departure point for lack of jurisdiction.

      The petition for review is denied in part and dismissed in part.

         The IJ also premised the credibility finding on Kaggwa’s demeanor. While
the BIA did not adopt the demeanor findings, the other grounds independently support
the IJ’s conclusion.
