Hernandez-Casillas v. INS, 983 F.2d 231 (5th Cir. 1993) (table), following an attempt by the BIA to expand § 212(c) availability to all "aliens deportable under any ground of deportability except those where there is a comparable ground of exclusion which has been specifically... -

...that a Sec. 212(c) waiver is available in deportation proceedings only to those aliens who have been found deportable under a charge of deportability for which there is a comparable ground of excludability.
In re Hernandez-Casillas, 983 F.2d 231 (5th Cir.1993) (unpublished). The First Circuit has addressed the issue of whether Sec. 212(c) authorizes the granting of discretionary relief to aliens convicted of possession of a firearm without a license. In Campos v. INS, 961 F.2d 309... -
