CA7 on Continuances: Yang v. Holder

"Although we are satisfied that the Board did not abuse its discretion in denying Yang’s request for asylum and associated relief, the same cannot be said for its decision to uphold the IJ’s denial of a continuance pending adjudication of Yang’s I-130; we grant the petition for review only on that basis." - Yang v. Holder, July 25, 2014.  [Hats off to Dehai Zhang!]
