	Immigration Laws
		The Service argues that the clear intent of Congress was to exclude both aliens currently holding conditional permanent resident status and those who have had such status terminated from the class of aliens eligible to adjust status under section 245(a) of the Act.
		Were it not for the bar on adjustment, an alien who acquired conditional permanent residence through marriage could adjust status on another basis during the conditional period and thereby avoid the requirements for removing the conditional basis of his status under section 216.
		Moreover, it would frustrate the deterrent purpose of the statute to permit the adjustment of the status of an alien whose status as a conditional permanent resident has terminated because of failure to comply with the requirements of section 216.

		Adjustment of status is the process by which a person already in the US has their immigration status adjusted to that of a permanent resident.
		Another key advantage of adjusting status is that an I-140 employment based immigrant application and I-130 petitions for immediate relatives can be filed simultaneously with an adjustment of status application.
		This would typically arise when someone is in the process of adjusting status and files a request with the USCIS to cable an approval notice to a consulate to initiate consular processing.

	1st Circuit invalidates regulation barring "arriving aliens" from adjusting while in removal proceedings
		The court rejected the attorney general’s argument that the regulation barring parolees who are in removal proceedings from adjusting their status is a valid exercise of discretion.
		The court noted that, while it is true that the regulation does not bar all parolees from adjustment because some parolees are not in removal proceedings, it was uncontested that it applies to the majority of parolees.
		The court concluded that Congress has therefore “clearly spoken on the issue of eligibility” of parolees for adjustment, and therefore the attorney general’s decision to categorically bar parolees in removal proceedings by regulation is not a valid exercise of discretion.

	THE ABC'S OF IMMIGRATION - CONSULAR PROCESSING VERSUS ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS
		When adjustment of status was created, it became tremendously popular, due in large part to the reentry bars that were created in 1996.
		There is no statutory bar to processing both ways, but the INS takes the position that if it learns that one is pursuing both consular processing and adjustment of status at the same time, it will consider an adjustment application abandoned.
		This would typically arise when someone is in the process of adjusting status and files a request with the INS to cable an approval notice to a consulate to initiate consular processing.
