ROVNER, Circuit Judge.

Almas Abraham petitions for review of a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA" or "Board") denying her application for asylum and withholding of removal. Because we lack jurisdiction to review the Board's denial of her application for asylum in the circumstances presented here, we dismiss her petition with respect to asylum. We deny her petition with respect to her application for withholding of removal.
