Matter of Sanchez Sosa, 25 I. & N. Dec. 807 (BIA Jun. 7, 2012) (in determining whether good cause exists to continue removal proceedings to await the adjudication of an aliens pending U nonimmigrant visa petition, an Immigration Judge should consider (1) the response of the Department of Homeland Security to the aliens motion to continue; (2) whether the underlying visa petition is prima facie approvable; and (3) the reason for the continuance and other procedural factors; an alien who has filed a prima facie approvable petition for a U visa with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services will ordinarily warrant a favorable exercise of discretion for a continuance for a reasonable period of time).
