PER CURIAM:

The final order for deportation is affirmed.

Mary Bowes is a teacher and an alien. She overstayed the length of her non-immigrant permission. She does not want to go home.

At issue here is Immigration's refusal to delay proceedings because she had a petition pending at the Department of Labor for a sixth preference for admission as an immigrant. This, she says, deprived her of due process. The pendency of an application for immigration status, however, does not entitle an alien to a delay in deportation proceedings. See Manantan v. Immigration Naturalization Service, 7 Cir., 425 F.2d 693, and Amarante v. Rosenberg, 9 Cir., 326 F.2d 58.
