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.
