• holding that the mere showing of econom- ic detriment to qualifying family members is insufficient to warrant findings of extreme hardship
• holding that court of appeals erred in reversing BIA’s denial of motion to reopen deportation proceeding where alien’s allegations were not supported by evidentiary material
• holding that where allegations are “unsupported by affidavit” they cannot support a motion to reopen because this would constitute a circumvention of the affidavit requirement in the regulations
• observing that “a narrow interpretation is consistent with the ‘extreme hardship’ language, which itself indicates the exceptional nature of the suspension remedy”
• holding that court of appeals erred in overturning BIA’s denial of motion to reopen deportation proceeding in order to apply for suspension of deportation, where alien’s allegations were not supported by affidavit or evidentiary material
