United States Ninth Circuit

Petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' decision finding petitioner ineligible for relief under section 212(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, is denied, because: 1) petitioner is an aggravated felon who filed his application for relief after November 29, 1990; and 2) the term "admissions" in section 212(c)'s effective date provision refers to the date that an alien seeks relief, and thus, the aggravated felony bar applies to applications filed after November 29, 1990, regardless of the date the alien was initially admitted to the United States.
