• holding that the term “admitted” denotes “procedural regularity for purposes of adjustment of status, rather than compliance with substantive legal requirements”
• reconfirming that procedurally regular admission constitutes an “admission” as defined by §1101(a)(13)(A)
• similarly rejecting a claim that changes wrought by the IIRIRA were intended to, or had the effect of, altering the Board’s longstanding view that “admission” required only procedural, not substantive, regularity
