View this case - free  

Overview: Although an immigrant was not entitled to a rescission of deportation order entered in absentia due to the fact that his motion was untimely under 8 U.S.C.S. § 1252b (repealed 1997), his change in the law argument should have been considered because a well-founded fear of persecution encompassed the application of forced sterilization on a spouse.
