Chicaroman v. Attorney General of the United States

OPINION

Edmundo Eduardo Chica-Roman, a native and citizen of Ecuador, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming the decision of the Immigration Judge (“U”) pre-termitting his applications for adjustment of status and cancellation of removal because he was barred from such relief as an alien crewman.
