With the enormous amounts of cases filed with immigration errors in decisions and delays in adjudication of cases have become more prevalent. When a case is improperly decided or unjustly delayed the law allows the federal court system to intervene. Under the Administrative Procedures Act you can sue the government and ask the United States District Court to compel appropriate action on your case.
We counsel both individual and corporate clients on a range of complex federal court matters including lawsuits related to:
- long pending applications or petitions with USCIS
- long pending applications or petitions Department of State
- denials of employment based extension petitions by USCIS (Ex. H-1B AC21 extension denials)
- denials of EB-1, 2, 3 classification petitions by USCIS
- wrongful denials of other immigration related benefits
- denied US passport application
Compelling the government to take action can be difficult. However, the combined experience of our attorneys will provide you with effective results.
