Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “the alien shows that he has filed a completed application before the USCIS ... and the petition appears to meet the necessary criteria to be granted, then any delay not attributable to the alien 'augurs in favor of a continuance.' " Id. (quoting Matter of Hashmi , 24 I. & N. Dec. 785 , 793 (BIA 2009) ). "As a general rule, there is a rebuttable presumption that an alien who has filed a prima facie approvable application with the USCIS will warrant a favorable exercise of discretion for a continuance for a reasonable period of time.”
