What is the difference between a Federal BIA decision and an immigration judge's decision that discretionary relief is unwarranted?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Juarez-Rodriguez v. U.S. Dept. of Immigration and Naturalization, 855 F.2d 861 (9th Cir. 1988):
2 Because the BIA independently reviewed the record and concluded that discretionary relief was unwarranted, we review the BIA decision rather than the immigration judge's. In this case we would reach the same conclusion regardless which we reviewed, but in general a proper analysis by the BIA renders harmless any errors in the immigration judge's decision. See Quintanilla-Ticas v. INS, 783 F.2d 955, 957 (9th Cir.1986).
