Some legal precedent/decision happened on Sept 26th 2002 regarding immigration judges rulings and the immigration boards ability to respond. Does anyone know about this and can explain it in normal peoples english?

What are u talking about man? Can u give us more details? Or refer us to a page so we can have an idea of where u getting at?

Under new regulations that became effective September 25th 2002, the board of appeals has limited fact finding ability on appeal which heightens the need for immigration judges to include in their decisions clear and complete findings of fact that are supported by record and are in compliance with controlling law .

BIA interim decision 3478.

What does this mean if you are heading towards an appeal. The INS adjudicatoe decides to deny an I-485. You then have to go to an appeals judge? How does the above effect you?
