BIA on Nuances of Parole: Conditional Parole is Distinct from Parole and Cannot Form Basis for Adjustment of Status

In Matter of CASTILLO-PADILLA, 25 I&N Dec. 257 (BIA 2010), the Board of Immigration Appeals held:

“(1) Conditional parole under section 236(a)(2)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)(2)(B) (2006), is a distinct and different procedure from parole under section 212(d)(5)(A) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A) (2006).

(2) An alien who was released from custody on conditional parole pursuant to section 236(a)(2)(B) of the Act has not been “paroled into the United States” for purposes of establishing eligibility for adjustment of status under section 245(a) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1255(a) (2006).”
