U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3463
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - Immigration. The court need not decide whether the
BIA's unpublished decision is entitled to Chevron deference as the
decision can be affirmed under the lesser form of deference set out in
Skidmore v. Swift & Co., 323 U.S. 134 (1944); 8 C.F.R. Sec. 245.10)(a3) is
ambiguous and the BIA's conclusion that petitioner is not entitled to an
adjustment of status is a persuasive interpretation of section 245(i) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act and is not plainly erroneous or
inconsistent with the regulation.
