Simin Nouritajer, et al. v. Ur M. Jaddou, Director, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, No. 21-632 · judgment November 15, 2021

Certiorari denied · November 21, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 9% cert probability (95% interval 6%–12%)

Before the decision, about 2.1× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Second Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).

Question presented

Whether considering the strong presumption of jurisdiction to review agency action repeatedly recognized by this Court, 8 U.S.C. §1155 and 8 U.S.C. §1252(a)(2)(B) (ii) should be construed to foreclose all judicial review of the revocation of an approved immigrant preference petition when denial of the petition would be subject to judicial review and revocation is governed by established legal standards?
