TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judge.
This appeal is before us a second time. Lacking a final order of deportation in the prior appeal, we remanded to the BIA to cure the jurisdictional defect. Sosa-Valenzuela v. Gonzales, 483 F.3d 1140 (10th Cir.2007). The issues raised in that case relating to the denial of a waiver of deportation are now properly before us.
