Oliveira v. Wilkinson
"Marcio and Debora Oliveira, a husband and wife who are natives and citizens of Brazil, petition for review of a ruling of the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA") affirming the determination of an Immigration Judge ("IJ") that they were not eligible for an adjustment of status pursuant to the "grandfathering" provisions of § 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA"). 8 U.S.C. § 1255(i). The Oliveiras argue that the BIA applied incorrect standards in determining that a labor certification application ("LCA") filed on behalf of Marcio Oliveira was not "approvable when filed." The Oliveiras also argue that the BIA erred in denying their motion to remand, which contained additional evidence. Because the IJ and BIA did not appropriately focus their inquiry, we grant the petition for review and remand to the BIA for further proceedings."
