IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS

MOTION

ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT: Shanti Kamla Chadeesingh, Esquire

APPLICATION: Reopening; termination

ORDER:

On March 22, 2017, the respondent, a native and citizen of Haiti, submitted a motion to reopen
and terminate proceedings in which her appeal was dismissed by the Board on July 29, 2008. The
Department of Homeland Security has not responded to the motion. The motion is granted, and
the proceedings are terminated.

The respondent has submitted evidence showing that she has been granted temporary protected
status, is the beneficiary of an approved immediate relative visa petition filed on her behalf by her
United States citizen husband, and recently entered the United States pursuant to a grant of advance
parole (Motion at 5-6, Tabs M-N). She asks for reopening and termination of proceedings in order
to apply for adjustment of status before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS).

Considering the totality of the circumstances in this case, we will reopen and terminate
proceedings without prejudice to permit the respondent to apply for adjustment of status before
the USCIS. The record is therefore returned to the Immigration Court without further Board
action.
