A non-citizen was not admitted as required by 8 U.S.C. §1182(a)(6)(A)(i) and §1255(a) when agents at a border patrol checkpoint in San Clemente, California, apprehended and released him after he showed them his then-valid temporary resident card; assuming these actions could amount to inspection and authorization, the event did not take place at a port of entry, as the checkpoint sits well within the U.S. Noncitizens factually admitted at a U.S. port of entry while they hold temporary resident status do not magically become unadmitted once their temporary resident status ends. A noncitizen builds up physical-presence time under §1229c(b)(1)(A) from the moment he enters the U.S. until the moment he receives a single document that provides him with all the information listed in §1229(a).
