“From in or about mid-1996 until September, 1997 [Luigi] Berishaj made cash payments to Shandorf in connection with approximately twenty cases. Each time Berishaj paid Shandorf between $1,500 and $2,000. In exchange for these payments, Shandorf agreed to provide assistance in securing political asylum for these individuals.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“If, at any time within five years after the status of a person has been otherwise adjusted ... to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, it shall appear to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that the person was not in fact eligible for such adjustment of status, the Attorney General shall rescind the action taken granting an adjustment of status to such person and cancelling removal in the case of such person if that occurred and the person shall thereupon be subject to all provisions of this chapter to the same extent as if the adjustment of status had not been made. Nothing in this subsection shall require the Attorney General to rescind the alien’s status prior to commencement of procedures to remove the alien under section 1229a of this title, and an order of removal issued by an immigration judge shall be sufficient to rescind the alien’s status.”
