U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-3523
Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Murphy and Hansen, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - immigration. Alien who marks the "citizen or
national of the United States" box on Form 1-9 for the purpose of falsely
representing himself as a citizen to secure employment with a private
employer has falsely represented himself for the benefit or purpose of the
Act. Employment, private or otherwise, is an example of purpose or
benefit contemplated by the statute. Substantial evidence supported that
alien falsely represented himself as a citizen and did not prove clearly
and beyond doubt that the is admissible. Thus, alien is ineligible for
adjustment of status.
