[Paul B Hunker III @HunkerPBIII]

The new EOIR regulations amending 8 C.F.R. § 1003.18(d) (effective July 29, 2024) give practitioners more flexibility to move for dismissal or administrative closure. For example, where a noncitizen is prima facie eligible for adjustment of status or naturalization before USCIS, a practitioner can file a unilateral motion to dismiss, even where an application is not pending with USCIS. Previously, counsel would have needed OPLA to join the motion, creating a logjam of pending motions for OPLA attorneys to consider.

There is also a “catch all” provision that allows an immigration judge to consider a motion to dismiss proceedings for reasons like those articulated in the new regulations (i.e., prima facie eligibility for relief/naturalization, noncitizen is beneficiary of TPS/deferred action/unlawful presence waiver, unaccompanied child with pending asylum application on file with USCIS). Some immigration judges will be more generous than others in applying this catch all. Happy motion making!

I am happy to report that the Fifth Circuit just vacated its published decision in Membreno-Rodriguez v. Garland!

Membreno basically held that noncitizens inadmissible under INA § 212(a)(7) at the time they sought admission were ineligible for adjustment of status, even if they were subsequently paroled. This holding was inconsistent with INA § 245(a) and inconsistent with over 60 years of INS and USCIS practice. Relatedly, Membreno suggested that if a noncitizen’s period of parole ended, they were no longer paroled for purposes of adjustment of status.

The rationale of Membreno would also have created significant adjustment eligibility issues for noncitizen spouse recipients of parole in place.

It was a pleasure and honor to work with John Bray and Robert Urenda on the petition for rehearing en banc. This led the Fifth Circuit to stay the issuance of the mandate. The parties then filed a joint motion to vacate Membreno, and the Fifth Circuit quickly granted it.
