Syllabus

(1) The Immigration and Nationality Act's \good moral character\ standard requires adherence to the generally accepted moral conventions of the community, and criminal activity is probative of non-adherence to those conventions. (2) Evidence of two or more convictions for driving under the influence during the relevant period establishes a presumption that an alien lacks good moral character under INA § 101(f), 8 U.S.C. § 1101(f). (3) Because only aliens who possessed good moral character for a 10-year period are eligible for cancellation of removal under section 240A(b) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b), such evidence also presumptively establishes that the alien's application for that discretionary relief should be denied.
