OPINION OF THE COURT

FUENTES, Circuit Judge.

Appellant Jerry Perry is a 46-year old Liberian who married a U.S. citizen, Francine Bennett (a/k/a Francine Perry) in 1986, and who subsequently became a conditional permanent resident of the U.S. In 1989, Perry and Bennett applied to remove the conditional status of his residency, but the INS did not respond by the time they got divorced, in 1993.
