Immigration Cases before the Supreme Court
An immigrant who’s Petition for Review has been denied by the U.S. Court of Appeals may file a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court. This “writ,” is a request to the Court to permit appeal of your case, as appeal to the Supreme Court is not automatic.
Christophe Law Group, P.C. has filed a number of Writs of Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. Our experienced attorneys can advise you as to whether the circumstances of your individual case involves issues where there is a dispute between the U.S. Courts of Appeal or presents issues raising serious policy questions affecting the rights of many individuals.
Actions in U.S. District Courts
Immigrants may challenge delay of governmental action in adjudicating their immigration benefit applications by filing a mandamus action in federal district court. Often the mere filing of a well argued mandamus action will be sufficient to convince the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service to adjudicate applications which would otherwise languish sometimes for years without decision.
Christophe Law Group, P.C. has experienced attorneys who can evaluate your case to determine whether a mandamus action is proper under the circumstances. There is no reason to suffer through extended delays in adjudication, particularly as family members languish overseas. If you have a pending immigration petition that has taken far too long to adjudicate, we can help.
