Case Summary

(This summary is temporary while we research the case.) This is a lawsuit filed on December 30, 2021, against U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), alleging that USCIS had unlawfully delayed decisions on several I-730 refugee "follow-to-join" applications, which let family members of refugees come to the US. The plaintiffs dismissed the case after USCIS adjudicated their applications.
