The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the immigrant hardship waiver

The Supreme Court issued a really important decision today, Tuesday March 19, 2024.

The Supreme Court ruled that federal courts may now review determinations by immigration judges about whether deporting someone would result in “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship” to a United States relative spouse, parent or child.

Previously, hardship decisions by immigration judges or by the board of immigration appeals could not be reviewed in federal courts. After today, if a person thinks that an immigration judge made the wrong decision on a “ten year” hardship case, that person can ask the federal courts to overturn that immigration judge’s decision.

Today's Supreme Court ruling is a significant victory for many immigrant families who may be eligible. Please call us today at 212-966-7775 for more information. This ruling may be able to help you!

联邦最高法庭于今日（2024年3月19日，星期二）下达一项重要裁决如下：联邦法庭现对过往及未来由移民法官基于亲戚，配偶，父母，孩子的“极度困难”判定的是否递解的十年案件具有管辖权。在此最高法庭裁决之前，联邦法庭对移民法官的“极度困难”案件没有管辖权。从今日起，若有人认为移民法庭对十年案件做出错误的裁决，可向联邦法庭上诉，申请推翻移民法官的裁决。
