Supreme Court Decision on USCIS Case Limits Spousal Visa Challenge

  • Summary

  • The Supreme Court's Department of State v. Muñoz decision significantly limits the ability of U.S. citizens to challenge spousal visa denials, upholding the principle of consular nonreviewability. This ruling, stemming from a case involving a U.S. citizen and her Salvadoran husband whose visa was denied due to suspected gang ties based on his tattoos, grants more power to consular officers and less to U.S. citizens seeking to bring spouses to the U.S. The decision sparked dissent, raising concerns about the balance between national security and family rights, and highlighted differing approaches to visa appeals in other countries.
