BIA posted ruling on official DOJ webpage, applies on all pending applications for individuals who have previous unlawful presence. traveling under advance parole with prior unlawful presence is now consider departure and triggers 3 or 10 year ban.

@victoria B go read the article well then

@sam Dami the article clearly states accrued unlawful presence. except you don’t know that an overstay and unlawful presence could be used interchangeably
