United States Ninth Circuit

Under the Immigrant Investor Law, retroactive application of new rules adopted by 1998 precedent decisions to immigrant investors' I-829 petition is impermissible. The INS may not apply rules established in 1998 precedent decisions in reviewing I-829 petitions of those whose I-526 petitions had been approved before those new rules were promulgated.
