Second Circuit: Cuthill v. Blinken

 

When a minor child of a newly naturalized alien takes their place in the visa queue, the legislative purpose of the statutory tolling of the child's age for the purpose of the pre-naturalization visa dictates that its tolled "statutory age" be applied within the statutory scheme for the post-naturalization visa.

The legislative intent is sufficiently clear to make Chevron deference inapplicable.
