The respondent, a natve and citizen of Gyana, has appeled fom an Immigation Judge's
November 2, 2011, oral decision which fund that he was inadmissible as chage under section
212(a)(7B)(i)( ) of the Imgation and Nationaity Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182{a)(7()(i)(l), ad
deemined that he was not eligible fr ay relief fom removal. 1 Both pares fe supplemental
briefs pursuant to a reuest fom ths Board. The appel will be dismissed.
We review a Immigation Judge's fndings of fct, including the creibilit deternaton
under the "clealy eroneus" standard. 8 C.F.R 1003. l(d)(J)(i). We revie all othe issues,
including wheher the paes have met the relevant burden of prof ad issues involving
questions of law, judgement ad discretion, under a de novo stadad. 8 C.F.R.
1003.l(d)(3)(ii). The respondent's case is govered by the RA Act of 2005. 0R0r of
S-B-, 24 IN De. 42 (IA 2006).
Te respondent became a pastor fr the National Wesleyan Church (NC) in Hyattsvlle,
Mayland in 2005 and he was issued a R-1 visa later that year. However, hs relaionshp wit
the cngegation deterorated ad he tendered his resignation on March 6, 2008, which was
efective as of Mch V, 2008. Athough he claimed that he intended to seek employment wt
aother church, he had not yet obtaned other church employment when he deaed the United
Staes in April 2008. Wen the responden at empte to reente te Unite Staes on Aprl 28,
2008, he was paoled in fr defer e inspection on May 23, 2008. The Depament of Homeland
Secity deterined that, because he had resigne fom the NC and was no longe employed
by his sponsorng church he therefre no longer qualifed fr an R-1 visa.
We will af r the Immigation Judge's November 2, 2011, decision. She deterined that
the respondent was inamissible on April 28, 2008, because he no longer was employed by te
same church which had sponsored his R-1 visa, ad that it was immateia whether he was
seeking employment with anothe church at te time of his attempted reentr. The respnden
has not show ay eror in the Immigation Judge's decision.

Cont to the reponden's aguents on appea, it is ielevant that his R-1 vs had not
been cncelle by te tme of his attepted reet in Aril 2008. Mater of Heal & Gohild,
17 IN Dec. 22, 26 (BIA 1979). I additon, his contention that a facton of NWC's
congeation was planning to fr its ow church ad hire him a its pasor is unavailing
becase a R- worke canot unilaerlly decide to work fr aoter employer whch is
diferent fom the sponsorng organization. 8 C.F.R. 214.2(r)(2), (13).
Because we have decided the appel on the preeing basis, it is unnecessary to address te
remaning contentions on appeal. Accordingly, the folowing order wil be enteed.
ORE: The appeal is dismissed.

In the Matter of
OSWEN CAMERON
Respondent
CHARGE:
APPLICATION:
APPEARANCES:
ON BEHALF OF RESPONDENT:
Dev A. Kayal, Esquire
Baltimore, Maryland
Date: November 2, 2011
IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
ON BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF HOMELAND SECURITY:
Ay S. Paulick, Esquire
ORAL DECISION OF THE IMMIGRATION JUDGE
As the Court noted when the Court went back on the
record, the Court does find that the Respondent is removable as
charged. DHS had withdrawn the fraud charge and also the charge
under INA Section 212 (a) (5) (A) (i) . After careful consideration of
all the evidence, the Court did find that it would sustain
allegations five and six. The Respondent had aditted allegations
one through four and seven, and the Court is also sustaining that

l
charge under INA Section 212 (a) (7) (B) (i) (II) . Specifically, the
Court concludes that even under the so called old regulations at
Section 214.2(r) , the Respondent has to have been coming to or
remaining in the U.S. solely for one of the following purposes.
One of those is as an employee of the religious organization,
another as to carry on the vocation of a minister of the religious
denomination. DHS did produce evidence at Group Exhibit 3 showing
that the Respondent had resigned from the National Wesleyan
Church. And I also note in the I-213, it does appear that the
Respondent was straight forward on entry and did acknowledge that
he was intending to come to the United States and have another
church petition for him.
I do conclude, however, that he wasn't admissible when
he entered because he wasn't intending to carry on his work as an
employee or a minister of the original church, the National
Wesleyan Church.
Accordingly, the Court hereby orders the Respondent
removed from the United States to Guyana, and the Court is aware
that the Respondent does have another church that's been trying to
get a petition approved for him and that some efforts are still
underway. If anything does work out, nd any further action is
