Our firm has filed a petition for review in the first parolee adjustment case that has made it to a federal court in the country: Budrys v. Gonzales, No. 06-2187. On May 12, 2006, the Attorney General, along with other federal agencies, promulgated an interim rule repealing the regulatory bar on adjustment by parolees in removal proceedings and allowing such applications to be filed with the USCIS. Our client made such an application after the conclusion of his removal proceedings but within the 90-day reopening period. Nonetheless, the BIA denied his motion to reopen, and that denial has now been challenged in the Fourth Circuit.
