What is the test for granting discretionary relief from deportation under section 212(c) of the Immigration Code?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Veloz v. I.N.S., 89 F.3d 848 (9th Cir. 1996):
Section 212(c) permits the Attorney General to grant discretionary relief from deportation to lawful permanent residents. In deciding whether to grant section 212(c) relief, the BIA must consider the social and humane considerations presented in an applicant's favor and balance them against evidence of the applicant's undesirability as a permanent resident. Yepes-Prado v. INS, 10 F.3d 1363, 1365-66 (9th Cir.1993).
