Speaker: Jesse Bless

With increasing immigration denial rates and a rise in arbitrary decisions, more practitioners are turning to APA litigation to challenge agency actions. While federal litigation is a powerful tool, it remains outside the comfort zone for many attorneys. Join Jesse Bless, an expert in federal court litigation involving immigration decisions and delays, for a discussion of common scenarios where federal litigation can effectively challenge denials, along with practical filing tips and recent developments in federal immigration litigation. This brown bag session will benefit both employment and family-based immigration practitioners and will focus on challenges to final agency decisions rather than delay-based claims.
