In a precedent decision issued today, the BIA held that a noncitizen seeking to acquire lawful permanent resident status through the legalization provisions of INA §245A must establish admissibility at the time of adjustment of status under §245A(b)(1). The BIA also held that a noncitizen who was inadmissible at the time of adjustment of status from temporary resident to permanent resident under INA §245A(b)(1) was not lawfully admitted for permanent residence, and is therefore ineligible for a waiver of inadmissibility under former INA §212(c).

Beneficiary who marries a K-1 petitioner within 90 days after admission into the United States, but subsequently divorces, can still adjust status based on the original K-1 marriage, as long as an I-864 was filed by the petitioner, and the beneficiary can prove that the marriage was bona fide. The practice pointer explains when USCIS will accept a signed I-864 from the K-1 petitioner.

Motion to reopen and adjustment of status/green card application granted for client with a marijuana conviction who entered the United States in 2002 with only a school ID. USCIS denied client’s application in 2014 finding that he failed to prove that he was properly admitted to the United States. Our office then filed a motion to reopen along additional evidence of his entry, including results from a polygraph examination, and his case was approved nearly 2 years later. Client can now legally stay in this country with his wife and children and apply for citizenship in the future.

I-485 approved for clients’ whose case had been pending since 2006 because of the petitioner’s criminal record. In 2013, the case was erroneously denied by USCIS for failure to respond to a request for evidence and reopened by our office in 2014. USCIS then attempted to revoke the petitioner’s I-130 as a result of his convictions, first through a Notice Intent to Revoke and then through an Amended Notice of Intent to Revoke. Each time our office responded, arguing that the petitioner was eligible to petition his wife and if necessary, eligible for a waiver under the Walsh Act. 10 years later, the case was finally approved.
