supporting documents attached, index identifying items 1 through
4V, collectively bibit 3. The Court finds that the respondent
1S S\\U\OI11 ineligible for a 212lc) waiver under the recent
decision in Matter of B}gg, which has held tha1 there is no
comparable grounds of inadmissibility. The application 212(c},
which is a for of waiver for inadmissibility is unavailable to
the respondent. Therefore, the respondent in this case, since
there is no comparable ground, is not eligible for a 212(c). 10
QLLB OL Blake discusses that the two grounds may DB similar as
argued in K where there is a crime of moral turitude. There
md be some overlap but they are not comparable grounds
necessarily and in this case the respondent's crime fOr a lewd
act upon a child is a crime of child abuse, aggravated felony,
for which there is no comparable grounds of inadmissibility.
Though some of the inadmissibl e grounds for crimes of moral
turpitude may Dave some overlap, they are not the same.
Theefore, the respndent is ineligible for 212(c).
JD0 respondeDt seeks to apply for, eventually, adjustment
of status on the basis of a geL1L1OD wU1OD the respondent's
United States citizen spouse has Liled . Though there is no
eVidenCe lD the record of that application being filed, the Court
finds cDL even if it were to be filed and proved, the respondent
is ineligible for the adjustment of status because of his crime,
