In this unpublished decision, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) reversed the denial of the respondents’ applications for adjustment of status upon finding they did not fail to maintain “lawful status” under INA 245(k). The Board concluded that the respondents maintained “lawful status” between the filing of their applications for an extension of nonimmigrant status in October 2005 and their approval in March 2009, even though the approval notice stated that their extensions were only valid until May 2006, more than a year before they filed applications to adjust status. The decision was written by Member Roger Pauley and joined by Member Anne Greer and Member Patricia Cole.
