   MEMORANDUM

Roselle Tapere Virtucio, a native and citizen of the Philippines, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for adjustment of status. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. Reviewing de novo questions of law, Cerezo v. Mukasey, 512 F.Sd 1163, 1166 (9th Cir. 2008), we deny the petition for review.

The agency properly denied Virtucio’s application for adjustment of status because she failed to establish eligibility to adjust. See 8 U.S.C. § 1255(c)(7) (an applicant for adjustment of status based on employment must maintain lawful nonimmigrant status at the time she applies for adjustment).

Virtucio’s remaining contentions are unavailing.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
