United States Sixth Circuit

A BIA decision finding petitioners-Macedonian citizens deportable is reversed in part pursuant to a claim that the BIA erred when it ruled that an IJ lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate the portability of petitioner's I-140 form under 8 U.S.C. section 1154(j) in a removal proceeding.
