U.S. Department of Justice Decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals
Executive Office for Immigration Review
IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
MOTION
APPLICATION: Reopening
On July 12, 2017, the respondents filed an untimely motion to reopen proceedings. The
Department of Homeland Security (OHS) filed an opposition to the motion, this Board granted a
stay of removal, and the respondents then supplemented their motion.
Considering the totality of circumstances presented in the respondents' motion (including their
supplemental documents}, the proceedings are reopened under the provisions of 8 C.F.R.
1003.2(a) (2017). The record will be remanded to the Immigration Judge to consider the
respondents' request for termination of proceedings. The respondents have established that they
are the beneficiaries of approved Form 1-130 visa petitions filed on their behalf by their United
States citizen son. Furthermore, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
conducted an adjustment of status interview for the respondents and advised the respondents that
USCIS would temporarily administratively close the adjustment applications until the
respondents' proceedings were terminated. Given these factors and the many equities presented
by the motion, we will remand the record for the Immigration Judge to consider the respondents'
request for termination.
ORDER: The proceedings are reopened under 8 C.F.R. 1003.2(a) and the record is remanded
to the Immigration Judge for further proceedings not inconsistent with this order and for the entry
of a new decision.
