The increase in the number of lawsuits challenging USCIS action in adjudicating immigration petitions is no coincidence. US immigration authorities have become increasingly unreasonable and challenging to deal with in recent years. In our view, this is directly correlated with the rise in instances of unfair and unequitable adjudications. Common issues that both temporary and permanent immigrant visa petitioners and beneficiaries regularly face are unreasonably delayed, carry incorrect application of the law, and fail to follow procedures. Often, there is no sufficient, timely, or reliable administrative remedy available to redress the injury caused by USCIS. Seeking relief in Federal Court is often the only means to resolve these issues.
Harris Bricken’s immigration litigation team will discuss the settlement of a recent case for a client to highlight the utility of APA litigation in the immigration context. Key Takeaways:
- The rise in immigration lawsuits and why they work.
- Can USCIS retaliate against the plaintiff?
- The necessity of obtaining the cooperation of visa sponsors.
- The legal basis for suing immigration agencies.
- Keys to building a strong case.
- Timeline and procedures of an APA lawsuit.
- Key steps to obtaining early relief.
- Navigating inter-agency politics and dynamics within the federal government.
