SCOTUS Determines that Revocation of Visa Petition Approvals are not Challengeable in Federal Court

The Supreme Court has determined that federal courts lack jurisdiction to review the agency’s revocation of an approved visa petition. In so doing, the Court indicated that the revocation statute defines a purely discretion decision by the agency - that the agency is not obligated to revoke the approval of a petition that was approved in error.

Fifth Circuit Rejects Challenge to Revocation of I-140 Petition Approval

The Fifth Circuit has rejected a challenge to the revocation of the approval of an I-140 petition. The Court found that because the agency found the petition was granted in error, it was never valid, the portability rules in section 245(j) of the INA did not prevent the revocation of the approval.
