Search 8 U.S.C. § 1256 : US Code - Section 1256: Rescission of adjustment of status; effect upon naturalized citizen

(a) If, at any time within five years after the status of a
person has been otherwise adjusted under the provisions of section
1255 or 1259 of this title or any other provision of law to that of
an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence, it shall appear
to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that the person was not
in fact eligible for such adjustment of status, the Attorney
General shall rescind the action taken granting an adjustment of
status to such person and cancelling removal in the case of such
person if that occurred and the person shall thereupon be subject
to all provisions of this chapter to the same extent as if the
adjustment of status had not been made. Nothing in this subsection
shall require the Attorney General to rescind the alien's status
prior to commencement of procedures to remove the alien under
section 1229a of this title, and an order of removal issued by an
immigration judge shall be sufficient to rescind the alien's
status.
(b) Any person who has become a naturalized citizen of the United
States upon the basis of a record of a lawful admission for
permanent residence, created as a result of an adjustment of status
for which such person was not in fact eligible, and which is
subsequently rescinded under subsection (a) of this section, shall
be subject to the provisions of section 1451 of this title as a
person whose naturalization was procured by concealment of a
material fact or by willful misrepresentation.
