Matter of G-A-, 7 I. & N. Dec. 274 (BIA 1956) (noncitizen in deportation proceedings allowed to apply for INA 212(c) relief where noncitizen had traveled out of the United States after conviction but before the deportation proceedings, on the theory that the INS should not have admitted the person after the conviction without a 212(c) waiver and that an IJ can grant the 212(c) waiver nunc pro tunc to the prior post-conviction/pre-deportation proceedings entry).  See also, Matter of Arias-Uribe, 13 I. & N. Dec. 696 (BIA 1971).

Rivas-Gomez v. Gonzales, 441 F.3d 1072 (9th Cir. Apr. 3, 2006) (BIA erred in applying heightened exceptional and extremely unusual hardship standard in application for INA 209(c) waiver without first determining, on the basis of the underlying facts, whether conviction for statutory rape was a violent or dangerous crime).

Matter of Cruz, 15 I. & N. Dec. 236 (BIA 1974) requires an "affirmative communication" from the DHS to allow an IJ to terminate proceedings to allow a noncitizen to apply for naturalization. This requirement has arguably been superceded by current 8 C.F.R. 1239(f), which no longer requires an affirmative communication.
