Does Section 241(f) of the Immigration Code waive documentary grounds for inadmissibility of an immigrant who entered without an immigrant visa?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Lee Fook Chuey v. Immigration & Naturalization Service, 439 F.2d 244 (9th Cir. 1971):

2. The government next contends that 241(f) does not waive the documentary grounds for inadmissibility of an immigrant who entered without an immigrant visa. We find this argument untenable. As we wrote in the first opinion and repeated earlier, the cases unmistakably hold that 241(f) waives not only 212(a) (19), 8 U.S.C. 1182(a) (19), but all quantitative immigration restrictions. See Errico, supra, and Muslemi v. I.N.S., 408 F.2d 1196, 1199 (9th Cir., 1969).
