Abinoja v. Immigration & Naturalization Service
Abinoja v. Immigration & Naturalization Service
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
These several petitioners appeal from orders of the Immigration and Naturalization Service denying them adjustment of status under 8 U.S.C. § 1255. They are represented by the same attorney and the several appeals present a common question: whether citizens of the Philippines, admitted as non-immigrants
Petitioners agree that the basic issue has been decided against them by this court in Carriaga v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 368 F.2d 337 (7th Cir. 1966), but they ask us to “take another look” at the issue, in the light of the legislative history of the Exchange Act.
We are not persuaded that we should not follow Carriaga. In Tuazon v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 389 F.2d 363 (7th Cir., January 30, 1968), this court applied Carriaga to reject the precise contention made here based on the Philippine government release and upon legislative history. The
We hold, on authority of Carriaga and Tuazon, that the Special Inquiry Officer and Board of Appeals did not err in denying petitioners’ applications for adjustment of status on the ground that they had not complied with 8 U.S.C. § 1182(e).
The petitions are denied.
. Under the Immigration and Naturalization Act and Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act, respectively, 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a) (15) (J) and 22 U.S.C. § 2451.
