Fight Your Visa Denial!

In the case, Muñoz v. State Department, the Ninth Circuit held that family members of visa applicants have a constitutional right to due process in the visa application process. Eric and Alan have successfully litigated additional visa denial cases and reunited parents with children and spouses with their partners.   ​
