DOJ/EOIR RIN: 1125-AA33 Publication ID: Spring 2002 
Title: Section 212(c) Relief for Aliens With Certain Criminal Convictions Before April 1, 1997 
Abstract: The rule amends the regulations of the EOIR and the INS by establishing procedures for certain lawful permanent residents (LPRs) with certain criminal convictions to apply for a waiver of inadmissibility pursuant to former section 212(c) of the INA. It is only applicable to certain LPRs whose convictions were prior to April 1, 1997. It applies to certain LPRs who have cases pending before EOIR or are under final administrative orders. This rule will broaden eligibility for INA section 212(c) relief in light of the recent Supreme Court decision in INS v. St. Cyr, 121 (S.Ct. 2271(2001).
