United States Fourth Circuit

Mexican citizens' petition for review of a decision dismissing their appeal of an IJ's denial of the husband's application for adjustment of status is denied as, under a Chevron analysis, the BIA's interpretation of sections 1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I) and 1255(i) must be given deference, and thus, because petitioner is inadmissible under section 1182(a)(9)(C)(i)(I), he cannot adjust his status under section 1255(i).
