United States Eighth Circuit


VARELA v. ASHCROFT, 02-3969

Petitioner was statutorily ineligible for an adjustment of status; INS was not equitably estopped from placing her in removal proceedings, as allegations that she was misinformed do not rise to the actionable level of affirmative misconduct required under Supreme Court precedent.
