New Supreme Court Case - good news - Vartelas v Holder
In Vartelas v. Holder, 3/28/12, the U.S. Supreme Court held that an LPR with a pre-IIRIRA convictions not subject to the applicant for admission provisions of INA § 101(a)(13)(A). The Court that that section does not have retroactive effect. This effectively resurrects Fleuti v Rosenberg for some LPRs. In other words, an LPR with a pre-IIRIRA conviction will not be considered to be an applicant for admission after a trip abroad.
