The Supreme Court decided this week to consider whether the U.S. government can revoke an immigration visa after it determines the immigrant’s marriage to a U.S. citizen is a sham.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rescinded a Palestinian man’s visa after it found he previously attempted to pass off another one of his marriages as legitimate in order to obtain a green card. Because he allegedly engaged in fraud before, the current marriage was deemed fraudulent, and his visa, which had been approved, was rescinded.
