Holding that the standard for demonstrating admissibility for purposes of an adjustment of status application is "clearly and beyond doubt." Also holding that the Department of Homeland Security's untimely submission of evidence during Nivar Santana's hearing before the immigration judge did not deprive her of due process because Nivar Santana was on notice of that piece of evidence and had a fair opportunity to account for it.
