Gutnik v. Ashcroft, 469 F.3d 683 (7th Cir. 2006) (refugee adjustment under INA 209(a) specifically includes a requirement that the refugee has not acquired permanent resident status at the time of adjustment; INA 209(b) for asylee adjustments does not contain the same requirement, so a conditional resident could apply for asylee adjustment as long as she remains a refugee within the meaning of INA 101(a)(42)(A) and meets the other requirements).

jurisdiction: 
Seventh Circuit
