Matter of Rowe, 23 I. & N. Dec. 962 (BIA 2006) (where a noncitizen was born out of wedlock and paternity was never established under the law of the country in which his parents resided, his paternity has not been established by legitimation, so he is not ineligible to obtain derivative citizenship under former INA 321(a)(3), 8 U.S.C. 1432(a)(3)). http://www.usdoj.gov/eoir/vll/intdec/vol23/3536.pdf

The additional bars to a waiver of inadmissibility under INA 212(h), added by IIRAIRA 348, provide: "[n]o waiver shall be granted under this subsection in the case of an alien who has previously been admitted to the United States as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if either since the date of such admission the alien has been convicted of an aggravated felony or the alien has not lawfully resided continuously in the United States for a period of not less than 7 years immediately preceding the date of initiation of proceedings to remove the alien from the United States.

In determining whether a conviction constitutes a "particularly serious crime" ("PSC") sufficient to disqualify a noncitizen from asylum or withholding of removal, there are two basic tests. First, if the offense is considered an aggravated felony, the noncitizen is disqualified for asylum, and is disqualified from withholding if the sentence imposed is for five years or more. INA 208(b)(2)(A); 241(b)(3)(B).
