7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Maria V. Dijamco v. Chad F. Wolf, et al.,

Case No.: 19-2689

Officials: ROVNER, HAMILTON, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Subject-matter Jurisdiction

Maria Dijamco came to the United States from the Philippines and sought lawful status to stay in the country through her mother who had a green card. What followed was a lengthy and tangled process that ultimately proved unsuccessful. Dijamco then filed suit in the district court, contending that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service failed to follow its own laws and regulations in revoking and refusing to reinstate her petition for a visa. The district court concluded that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to consider any of Dijamco’s claims. We agree and affirm.
