   SUMMARY ORDER

Petitioner Xiu Rong Quan, a native and citizen of China, seeks review of a March 26, 2013 decision of the BIA denying her untimely motion to reopen her removal proceedings. In re Xiu Rong Quan, No. [ AXXX XXX XXX ] (B.I.A. Mar. 26, 2013). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history in this ease.

We review the BIA’s denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. See Ali v. Gonzales, 448 F.3d 515, 517 (2d Cir.2006) (per curiam). An alien seeking to reopen proceedings is required to file a motion to reopen no later than 90 days after the date on which the final administrative decision was rendered. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). There is no dispute that Quan’s motion to reopen, filed in 2012, was untimely because her order of removal became final in 2007. See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(47)(B)(i). Quan contends, however, that her conversion to Christianity in the United States and the increased mistreatment of Christians in China constitute materially changed country conditions excusing her motion from the applicable time limitation. We hold that the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Quan’s motion for failure to demonstrate a material change in country conditions.

First, the BIA did not err in determining that Quan’s conversion to Christianity in the United States was a self-induced change in personal circumstances and not a change in country conditions. See Yuen Jin v. Mukasey, 538 F.3d 143, 155 (2d Cir.2008); Wei Guang Wang v. BIA, 437 F.3d 270, 273-74 (2d Cir.2006).

Second, the BIA’s determination that the 2011 ChinaAid Report did not reflect a material change in country conditions was also reasonable. Quan bore the burden of supporting her motion to reopen with “material” evidence. See 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(1); see also 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(B); cf. Jian Hui Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 149 (2d Cir.2008) (where enforcement of a policy varies, it is the applicant’s burden to show that violation of the policy would be punished in a way that gives rise to a well-founded fear of persecution in her locality). The Chi-naAid report indicated that the treatment of Christians varied by region, and it made no mention of how that treatment manifested itself in Quan’s home province of Zhejiang. Because that report did not provide any basis from which to conclude that there had been a change in how Christians were treated in Zhejiang between 2006 (when Quan had her merits hearing) and 2012 (when she filed the motion to reopen) and because that report was the only evidence in the record discussing conditions applicable to Chinese Christians in 2006, it was immaterial to proving changed conditions in Quan’s home province. See In re S-Y-G-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 247, 253 (B.I.A.2007) (“In determining whether evidence accompanying a motion to reopen demonstrates a material change in country conditions that would justify reopening, [the BIA] compare[s] the evidence of country conditions submitted with the motion to those that existed at the time of the merits hearing below.”).

Accordingly, Quan’s focused challenge asserting the BIA did not give appropriate consideration to the ChinaAid Report is without merit. Cf. Xiao Ji Chen v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 471 F.3d 315, 342 (2d Cir.2006) (“Although we have cautioned that ‘the immigration court should be careful not to place excessive reliance on published reports of the Department of State,’ the weight to afford to such evidence ‘lie[s] largely5 within the discretion of the IJ.” (citations omitted)). Therefore, Quan’s overarching assertion that the BIA erred in concluding she did not establish a material change in country conditions fails. In so holding, we note that Quan has not challenged before this Court the BIA’s decision to give diminished weight to other individualized items of evidence (i.e., the letter from Quan’s parents and photocopies of certain unauthenticated notices), which also bear on the issue of changed conditions.

We decline to consider Quan’s challenge to the agency’s alternative finding that she had not demonstrated her prima facie eligibility for relief. See INS v. Bagamasbad, 429 U.S. 24, 25, 97 S.Ct. 200, 50 L.Ed.2d 190 (1976) (“As a general rule courts and agencies are not required to make findings on issues the decision of which is unnecessary to the results they reach.”).

For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED. As we have completed our review, we DENY as moot Quan’s motion for a stay of removal; we will address by separate order Petitioner’s attorney’s motion to withdraw as counsel.
