Matter of W-Y-U-, 27 I&N Dec. 17 (BIA 2017)
(1) The primary consideration for an Immigration Judge in evaluating whether to administratively close or recalendar proceedings is whether the party opposing administrative closure has provided a persuasive reason for the case to proceed and be resolved on the merits.
