A Federal District Court in Oregon has thrown out a class action lawsuit that was filed there by K-1 visa Petitioners and Beneficiaries. The K-1 visa allows for foreign nationals to immigrate to the United States to marry their U.S. citizen fiance(e)s.
The lawsuit was brought because of perceived injustices against K-1 visa applicants by the USCIS and the State Department. The K-1 applicants believed those agency’s actions and procedures unfairly delayed and hindered the applications. Unfortunately for the bringers of the suit, the District Judge ruled differently.
The lawsuit was Tran v. Napolitano, and was decided in the Federal District Court of Oregon.
