When USCIS or another immigration agency denies your application without a valid explanation, it can feel unjust and devastating. These arbitrary decisions can disrupt your career, separate families, and place your future in jeopardy.
Fortunately, under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), you have the right to challenge government actions that are unlawful, arbitrary, or capricious. At Global Legal Advisors (GLA), we help immigrants and their families take these battles to federal court—demanding fairness, accountability, and justice.
The Administrative Procedure Act protects individuals from unlawful or unreasonable government actions. An APA challenge allows you to file a lawsuit in federal court when USCIS or another agency:
Through an APA lawsuit, a judge can review the agency’s decision and, in some cases, order USCIS to reconsider or reprocess your case fairly.
Our attorneys at GLA pursue APA challenges in cases involving:
Wrongful visa denials (H-1B, O-1, L-1, EB-2 NIW, and more).
If you believe your denial was unfair or unsupported, an APA challenge may be your strongest option.
