Supreme Court to Review Green Card Denial When a Marriage Is a Sham

The government says its decision to revoke the visa because it found the marriage was not legitimate cannot be reviewed by the courts.

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The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rescinded a Palestinian man’s visa after it found he previously attempted to pass off another one of his marriages as legitimate in order to obtain a green card.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engaged in fraud before, the current marriage was deemed fraudulent, and his visa, which had been approved, was rescinded.
