Except as provided in subsection (b), the Secretary shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine eligibility for relief under this Act. If a final order of deportation, exclusion, or removal is entered, the Secretary shall resume all powers and duties delegated to the Secretary under this Act. If a final order is entered before relief is granted under this Act, the Attorney General shall terminate such order only after the alien has been granted conditional permanent resident status under this Act.
The Attorney General shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine eligibility for relief under this Act for any alien who has been placed into deportation, exclusion, or removal proceedings, whether such placement occurred before or after the alien filed an application for cancellation of removal and conditional permanent resident status or adjustment of status under this Act. Such exclusive jurisdiction shall continue until such proceedings are terminated.
