SUMMARY ORDER
. Wan Yan Lu, a native and citizen of the People’s Republic of China, seeks review of a July 3, 2014, decision of the BIA, affirming the October 11, 2012, decision of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”), denying his motion to reopen. In re Wan Yan Lu, No. A074 324 873 (B.I.A. Jul. 3, 2014), aff'g No. A074 324 873 (Immig. Ct. N.Y. City Oct. 11, 2012). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history in this case.
Under the circumstances of this case, we have reviewed the IJ’s decision as supplemented by the BIA. See Yan Chen v. Gonzales, 417 F.3d 268, 271 (2d Cir.2005). The applicable standards of review are well-established. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); Yanqin Weng v. Holder, 562 F.3d 510, 513 (2d Cir.2009).
We review the denial of motions to reopen for abuse of discretion. See Jian Hui *460Shao v. Mukasey, 546 F.3d 138, 168-69, 173 (2d Cir.2008). A motion to rescind an in absentia removal order is reviewed under the same standard as a' motion to reopen. See Alrefae v. Chertoff, 471 F.3d 353, 357 (2d Cir.2006). While a motion to rescind based on a lack of notice may be filed at any time, a motion based on “exceptional circumstances” must be filed within 180 days of a removal order. 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(b)(5)(C)(i), (ii). Exceptional circumstances are defined as “circumstances (such as battery or extreme cruelty to the alien or any child or parent of the alien, serious illness of the alien, or serious illness or death of the spouse, child, or parent of the alien, but not including less compelling circumstances) beyond the control of the alien.” 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(e)(l).
Here, Lu does not dispute that he received notice of his removal hearing and that his motion to rescind'was filed more than 11 years after the 180-day deadline. Instead, he challenges the agency’s determination that he did not exercise due diligence such that tolling of the deadline was warranted. The agency did not abuse its discretion in determining that; by waiting more than 11 years to seek reopening, Lu did not demonstrate due diligence. See Jian Hua Wang v. BIA, 508 F.3d 710, 715-16 (2d Cir.2007) (per curiam) (finding no abuse of discretion where the BIA held that a delay of five months between filing a Lazada complaint and filing a motion to reopen constituted a lack of due diligence); Rashid v. Mukasey, 533 ,F.3d 127, 132 (2d Cir.2008) (movant lacked due diligence when there was a 14 month delay between becoming “dissatisfied” with his attorney and consulting a different attorney). Moreover, a movant is required to demonstrate “due diligence” in pursuing a claim “during the entire period he ... seeks to toll.” Rashid, 533 F.3d at 132. Lu’s vague statement in his affidavit that he “went to other attorneys” is hardly sufficient to show, as he argues, that the agency erred in not considering his “unbroken efforts” to seek alternative counsel. Indeed, he apparently only moved to rescind his in absentia order after a friend urged him to seek counsel.
We generally lack jurisdiction to review the agency s denial oí a motion to reopen pursuant to its sua sponte authority. Ali v. Gonzales, 448 F.3d 515, 518 (2d Cir.2006) (per curiam). However, we may remand for the agency to reconsider a decision declining to sua sponte reopen if the agency misperceived the law, for example, by erroneously concluding that an application for relief “would necessarily fail.” Mahmood v. Holder, 570 F.3d 466, 469 (2d Cir.2009). Lu argues that the BIA failed to consider certain discretionary factors in declining to exercise its sua sponte authority to reopen. However, the BIA’s failure to explicitly address these discretionary factors was not a misperception of law or an erroneous conclusion about Lu’s eligibility for some form of relief. The agency’s decision therefore does not fall within the ambit of Mahmood. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this issue, and the petition for review is dismissed to this extent. See id.; Ali, 448 F.3d at 517.
For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is DENIED in part and in part DISMISSED. As we have completed our review, any stay of removal that the Court previously granted in this petition is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in this petition is DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for oral argument in this petition is DENIED in accordance with Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).
