OPINION

BOYCE F. MARTIN, Jr., Chief Judge.

Oscar Valenzuela-Alcantar, a Mexican citizen, petitions this court for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissing his appeal and affirming an immigration judge’s decision to deny his request for suspension of deportation. He argues that the immigration judge erred in finding an inadequate showing of “extreme hardship,” one of three determinations required for suspension of deportation. The immigration judge granted voluntary departure, which Valenzuela-Alcantar requested as alternative relief.
