FISHER, Circuit Judge,
concurring specially:
I agree with my colleagues in the majority that neither the approval of Vasquez’s husband’s 1-130 petition nor the filing of Vasquez’s application for adjustment of status constituted admission “in any status” under 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(a)(2). I therefore concur, but with the understanding that the discussion, in Part III.B.3, of the difference between Vasquez’s circumstances and those of a Family Unity Program (FUP) beneficiary merely distinguishes approval of the 1-130 petition from acceptance into the FUP, without reaching whether any other grant of benefits might constitute admission. See Maj. Op. at 1103 n. 5.
