What is administrative closure?
It is a form of immigration relief that will allow the immigration judge to temporarily “close” a case. Usually, administrative closure is given when immigration judges are aware that a foreign national is not be eligible to obtain legal immigration status in the United States, but there are compelling reasons why the foreign national should not be deported (i.e. s/he is a parent to minor U.S. born children).
