procrastination where the question is whether the beneficiary of an immigrant visa list currently over twenty one years of age is eligible for an immigrant risa  what the reason why i want to getting pressure from this case is because this particular beneficiary under the government's interpretation would have to wait on the f one category as opposed to get an immediate big step and the recent weight on the one category but the recent for those wait times it's not because congress intended to punish beneficiaries the ability to bring derivative beneficiaries which is something that would not be available to to her if she was an immediate relative so i moment but equally and i'm not sure that i completely understood your answer to this catchments question which is mine which is that everything that i've seen but maybe is that right as a just accurate description of what happened and nd why why should we consider congress's preference provide relief to many of the children of many people of many petitioners it was not intended to provide broad relief to every freezing ages because the problem there was that if the age was not frozen beneficiary would age out during the process whereas because the plain language of inextricably intertwined statutory provisions require the agency to use an f to a beneficiaries statutory age to determine whether they are under twenty one dollars and convert to an immediate relative the sponsor parent naturalized as u s citizen those reasons this court should affirm judge holes decision below and avoid the government's invitation to create a circuit split between the circuit and the th circuit despite voluminous briefing in the amount of words it takes to get to the description of the actual problem here i think this is a straightforward application of a statutory definition through the child status protection act congress decided to make the word age a term of art for f to a beneficiary because they were the most vulnerable to the evil the child that  beneficiary age is in fact a term of art and one thousand one hundred and fifty three age can be seen as the statutory definition of that term of art that is biological age or less the amount of days it took for the agency to process the underlying application that one thousand one hundred and fifty three h does not limit its application to any other provisions of the immigration nationality act it doesn't say this is only for particular purposes it says when you were one as to where it says the determination described in paragraph one so these provisions three provisions working together are referencing are serving the purpose of determining whether someone  demonstrating that it goes beyond just the narrow analysis that your honor identified but how do you respond to that that the definition of child appears often a beneficiary because it there is no express cross reference your honor but you don't see expressed cross references every time immigration nationality act uses the word child even though to figure out what a child is for immigration law we have to go to the multi faceted section of eleven o one b and i think this is just a another example of why courts repeatedly refer to immigration or labyrinthine there's here and again this goes back to the congressional intent that your honor asked my opposing counsel i mean the answer to your st question is there are no provisions in the immigration nationality act and there's no legislative history to indicate congress ever wanted to penalize any anyone for becoming a us citizen and i think it goes a little bit further that while my opposing counsel properly notes the visa both and subject change maybe some categories become current some don't those times change categorized as immediate relatives for example if they're adjusting status in the united states they can adjust status despite unlawful presence or despite unlawful work and so there are other benefits accorded not just you're making here and you know i i frankly agree with you that i can't imagine that congress would have wanted the result your honor i think this is where judge hall's opinion really builds upon and improves the analysis from cobar in that judge hall identified additional legislative history that points out a couple of different things agency processes the if they know of either the media bailable they jump on that and they get on those applications immediately there's no wait until is abuse available and so what the what our brief references quite a bit to seventeen and do think that's one thing that says what one piece of new congressional intent beyond what or identified that would indicate that congress did intend this result the nd part is if you look at the o convert to immediate relatives without issues when their parent naturalizes and again when they came in and redefined the age of this particular category i do think they intended beneficial consequences and that meaning more preference children are to be treated immediate relatives them before so i do not think this is an unintended consequence i think this is exactly what congress intended and w simply not they don't cite to it at all and so there's some chain reduction issues the final thing is these hard completely different agencies and so i do not believe that the department of state should get deference to another agency's decision if it has departed states has an exercise in the expertise it hasn't looked at it and frankly there are disparate interpretations of similar immigration provisions between the department of state as well the department homeland security and the department of justice and so i do think those the disparate agencies again counsel against giving any deference and i guess my point is is it's the plain language this court is the expert in defining what the law says and and that's i think that's what two of our basically said in this court and again i do think this is a plain language analysis i think that you know as an advocate it's nice to have legislative history on your side but this court not even reach it this is an application of a statutory definition and the agency this interpretation is suggesting
