View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: The BIA's decision that a petitioner was not eligible to apply for § 212(c) (8 U.S.C.S. § 1182(c) repealed) relief was affirmed because "aggravated felony" and "crime of violence," although statutory grounds for deportation, were not statutory grounds for exclusion; thus, the exclusion statute did not provide authority for waivers on such grounds.
