The Board of Immigration Appeals has determined that a respondent who enters the United States as a refugee, adjusts status one year later retroactive to the date of admission, and is then convicted of an aggravated felony, is not statutorily barred from seeking a 212(h) waiver.
The full text of Matter of N-V-G- can be found here:
The Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are pleased to announce a new in-country refugee and parole program for certain qualified minors in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The program allows certain parents who are lawfully present in the U.S. to request access to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for their children still residing in one of these three countries. Applicants who gain access to the program, but are found ineligible for refugee status will be considered on a case-by-case basis for parole into the United States.
