Holding the Board of Immigration Appeals properly relied on its precedential decision in Matter of C-J-H- to find that noncitizens who have voluntarily adjusted to Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status under 8 U.S.C. § 1159(b) do not retain their asylum status and are deportable as LPRs, even without the Attorney General formally terminating their asylum status pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1158(c).
