Nouritajer v. Jaddou, No. 21-632 (2d Cir. 2021)
Annotate this CaseThe Second Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint (SAC) based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The SAC sought review of the USCIS's revocation of Plaintiff Nouritajer's previously-approved Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (I-140); the USCIS Administrative Appeals Office's (AAO) denial of Nouritajer's revocation appeal on August 1, 2018; and the May 29, 2019 denial of plaintiffs' motion to reopen and reconsider the revocation. The court agreed with the district court that the jurisdictional bar to a substantive challenge to a discretionary decision by the Secretary of Homeland Security applies here, because plaintiffs do not assert a procedural challenge to the revocation decision. Rather, plaintiffs assert several arguments which essentially challenge the underlying reasons for the revocation of the immigration petition.
