   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3519
   Board of Immigration Appeals   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Hansen and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Petition for Review - Immigration. While the ultimate decision as to
   whether to grant a marriage waiver under 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1186a(c)(4) is
   discretionary, the court has jurisdiction to consider the legal standard for
   a good faith marriage and to determine whether the credited evidence
   meets the standard; here, petitioner failed to proved that he entered into a
   bona fide marriage, and the BIA did not err in concluding that petitioner
   was ineligible for a waiver because he failed to satisfy the legal standards
   for a good faith marriage.
