Petition for Review - immigration. Board of Immigration appeals abused its discretion in denying a motion to remand for consideration of adjustment of status where visa petition submitted by newly married husband was approved pending appeal to the BIA. Under the statute and regulations, an approved visa petition was sufficient primary evidence of eligibility for the bona-fide marriage exemption under section 1255(e)(3). Petition for review is granted and case is remanded for consideration of her petition for adjustment of status. [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Heaney and Smith, Circuit Judges]
