   MEMORANDUM

Siak Ming Heng, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order denying his motion to reconsider its previous order dismissing as untimely Heng’s appeal from an Immigration Judge’s decision denying his application for asylum. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to reconsider. See Oh v. Gonzales, 406 F.3d 611, 612 (9th Cir.2005). We grant the petition for review and remand.

The BIA dismissed Heng’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction before our decision in Oh v. Gonzales, 406 F.3d 611 (9th Cir.2005). We remand for the BIA to consider, in light of Oh, whether Heng demonstrated “rare circumstances” warranting consideration of his late appeal. See id. at 614 (granting and remanding where the appeal was late due to an Airborne Express error, and where the BIA’s denial was “predicated entirely on its misconstruction of the jurisdictional nature of its own filing deadline”), INS v. Ventura, 537 U.S. 12, 16, 123 S.Ct. 353, 154 L.Ed.2d 272 (2002) (per curiam).

PETITION FOR REVIEW GRANTED; REMANDED.
