Description
In this unfortunate immigration case, petitioner does not dispute that she is deportable. She instead seeks suspension of deportation, a type of discretionary relief conditioned on, among other criteria, continuous presence in this country. The Board of Immigration Appeals found her ineligible because she could not show the requisite seven years stay. The Board calculated petitioners time in residence based upon immigration provisions enacted while her case was pending. Petitioner now contends that these legislative changes unconstitutionally deprived her of the opportunity to apply for suspension of deportation. We find that Congress intended the retroactive reach of the law and that its classification scheme is rationally related to legitimate federal interests. We therefore affirm.
