Hi:

Word of warning, anything short of a formal decision from CIS is worth the paper its printed on. That said, a judicial quote is in order:

“This case vividly illustrates the labyrinthine character of modern immigration law--a maze of hyper-technical statutes and regulations that engender waste, delay, and confusion for the Government and petitioners alike. The inscrutability of the current immigration law system, and the interplay of the numerous amendments and alterations to that system by Congress during the pendency of this case, have spawned years of litigation, generated two separate opinions by the District Court, and consumed significant resources of this Court. With regret and astonishment, we determine, as explained more fully below, that this case still cannot be decided definitively but must be remanded to the District Court, and then to the Board of Immigration Appeals ("BIA"), for further proceedings.” Drax v. Reno, 338 F.3rd 98 (2nd Cir. 2003).
