7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Moshin Yafai, et al. v. Mike Pompeo, et al.

Case No.: 18-1205

Officials: FLAUM, RIPPLE, and BARRETT, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Immigration – Visa Application

A consular officer twice denied the visa application of Zahoor Ahmed, a citizen of Yemen, on the ground that she had sought to smuggle two children into the United States. Ahmed and her husband Moshin Yafai—a United States citizen—filed suit challenging the officer’s decision. But the decision is facially legitimate and bona fide, so the district court correctly dismissed the plaintiffs challenge to it under the doctrine of consular nonreviewability.
