Case History / Issues:
Applicant had last entered U.S. under TN visa status in Oct. 2011. I believed filing an adjustment of status application was appropriate because: (i) the passage of time between the last TN visa entry and the adjustment filing; and (ii) the applicant did not intend to file for adjustment of status when seeking admission to the U.S. under TN visa status at that time. (Other issues were assessed as well, but are not addressed here).
