(C)  Recipients of S Visas for Cooperation With Law Enforcement: Committed Within 10 Years of Last Admission.  If the noncitizen was admitted to the United States by virtue of an S Visa, which is granted to persons who provide valuable assistance to law enforcement in criminal investigations and prosecutions,[241] one CMT conviction will trigger deportation if committed within 10 years, rather than five years, after the person’s admission.[242]  Because so few S Visas are granted, however, this situation seldom arises.  See §  20.35(B), supra.
