Ramos v. Immigration And Naturalization Service

Maria Ramos ("Ms. Ramos") and Jessica Ramos ("Miss Ramos"), mother and daughter citizens of Mexico, petition for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"), reversing the Immigration Judges ("IJ") order and denying their application for suspension of deportation under section 244(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a)(1). The Ramoses contend that Ms. Ramoss false statements to an asylum officer do not preclude a finding of good moral character, that any false testimony should be considered in light of her subsequent honesty, that the Ramoses received ineffective assistance of counsel, and that Miss Ramos and her father would experience extreme hardship if she returned to Mexico. We dismiss the petition for review of the BIAs denial of suspension of deportation.
