Niz-Chavez v. Garland

SCOTUS

593 U.S. 155 (2021)

2021

Holding

A single document must provide all required NTA information—including time and place—to trigger the stop-time rule; a later follow-up notice cannot cure a defective initial NTA for stop-time purposes.

Practitioner Note

Extended Pereira v. Sessions. Together these cases mean that any NTA without complete time/place information cannot trigger the stop-time rule.
