Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we break down the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Bouarfa v. Mayorkas, where the Court affirmed the Secretary of Homeland Security’s discretionary authority to revoke approved visa petitions under 8 U.S.C. §1155. We’ll explore how this decision limits federal court review of such actions under 8 U.S.C. §1252(a)(2)(B)(ii) and why the Court rejected claims that a prior sham marriage determination made revocation mandatory. Tune in for an engaging discussion on what this unanimous ruling means for immigration law, judicial oversight, and the power dynamics in visa adjudications. Don’t miss it! 🎧
