Salazar-Reyes v. Holder
** Reusing approved visa petitions**
The BIA reasonably interpreted 8 CFR section204.2(h)(2) in preventing Salazar from reusing his approved visa petition to apply for adjustment of status. Under 8 CFR section204.2(h)(2) an approved visa petition that is subsequently approved again “shall be regarded as a reaffirmation or reinstatement of the validity of the original petition, except. . . when an immigrant visa has been issued to the beneficiary as a result of the petition approval.”
