OPINION OF THE COURT
HARDIMAN, Circuit Judge.
In this case we review the Board of Immigration Appeals’ construction of Section 203(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which grants a visa preference to “[qualified immigrants who are the brothers or sisters of citizens of the United States.” 8 U.S.C. § 1153(a)(4). The question presented is whether the District Court erred in according Chevron deference to the BIA’s decision that adopted children may not invoke this preference in favor of their biological siblings. We hold that it did not.
