1Opinion of the Court
FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:
Petitioner, a deportable alien, appeals a decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”), finding him statutorily ineligible for the discretionary waiver of deportation provided for in 8 U.S.C. § 1182(c) (“section 212(e)”). The BIA held that the time during which petitioner lived as a minor child with his permanent resident parents in the United States, prior to himself independently attaining permanent residency, did not count toward the seven years of “lawful unrelin-quished domicile” required to make him eligible for discretionary relief under section 212(c).
