Save Jobs USA v. Department of Homeland Security, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, No. 23-5089 · judgment August 2, 2024
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Questions presented
-
Whether the Department of Homeland Security can grant work authorization for classes of nonimmigrants for whom Congress has refused to grant work authorization.
-
Whether the statutory terms defining nonimmigrant visas in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(15) are mere threshold entry requirements that cease to apply once an alien is admitted or whether they persist and dictate the terms of a nonimmigrant’s stay in the United States.
