Tenth Circuit

RELIEF - ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS
Herrera-Castillo v. Holder, 573 F.3d 1004 (10th Cir. Jul. 27, 2009) (inadmissibility for being unlawfully present in the United States for one year or more prevented adjustment of status, because 8 U.S.C. 1255(i) reasonably suggests that Congress considers aliens who accrue a period of unlawful presence more culpable than those immigration violators who do not, and thus that the former are less deserving of relief).
