Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Immigration
Record contained sufficient evidence to support IJ’s order removing alien (native of Guatemala) on grounds that alien was removable under section 237(a)(2)(A)(i) of INA for having committed crime of moral turpitude arising out of his conviction for conspiracy to transfer false identification document. While alien argued that he was eligible for stand-alone waiver of inadmissibility under section 212(h) of INA, alien was not eligible for said waiver since: (1) section 212(h) limits said waiver to aliens who seek visa, admissions or adjustment of status; and (2) alien was merely attempting to use waiver to avoid his removal.
