3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Because there is no indication that the BIA's nonprecedential single-member decision was 'promulgated' under its authority to 'make rules carrying the force of law,' we do not accord it Chevron deference.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“in construing “lawfully resided continuously” as used in § 212(h), we would benefit from the BIA’s consideration of the term lawful- — including its use in relation to asylum seekers and adjustment applicants — in other provisions of the INA and the implementing regulations, along with Congress’s intent in providing for a § 212(h) waiver. In reviewing the BIA’s definition of lawful in § 212(h), we would also benefit from an explanation of the source of the definition and analysis as to whether an asylum seeker or an adjustment applicant meets that definition of “lawful.””
