Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a premature petition does not ripen when the order of removal becomes final
• declining to construe the alien’s petition “as requesting review of the BIA’s eventual dismissal of his appeal” and dismissing the petition absent a final order of removal
• declining to review removal order because BIA appeal was still pending
• “[T]his court does not have jurisdiction to review the IJ decision independently” because it’s not a “final order of removal.”
• judicial review of a final order of removal is available only if the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies
• “The passage of the REAL ID Act divested district courts of jurisdiction over removal orders and designated the courts of appeals as the sole forums for such challenges via petitions for review.”
