Dhuka, et al v. Holder, Jr., No. 12-60169 (5th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CasePetitioners, citizens of Pakistan, petitioned for review of the BIA's determination that they could not adjust their status because for more than 180 days, they had not been in "lawful status." The BIA agreed with the IJ's conclusion that petitioners failed to maintain continuous lawful status since their entry into the United States and failed to qualify for any exception to the requirement. The court concluded that the BIA properly denied "lawful status" and reasonably determined that petitioners had failed to maintain theirs. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
