USCIS I-485 Denial: Court Explains Lack of Jurisdiction

Описание: The plaintiff challenged USCIS’s denial of her I-485 adjustment of status application under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), alleging retaliation and arbitrary denial. The court dismissed the case, ruling that federal district courts lack subject matter jurisdiction over discretionary adjustment decisions under 8 U.S.C. § 1255 and § 1252.

We’ll cover:
– The factual background (marriage history, green card application, naturalization attempt)
– Why the court ruled it had no jurisdiction
– How the APA interacts with the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
– What options remain for immigrants facing similar issues
