Visa Revocation

Not Subject to Court Review

Holding: Revocation of an approved visa petition under 8 U.S.C. § 1155 based on a sham-marriage determination by the Secretary of Homeland Security is the kind of discretionary decision that falls within the purview of Section 1252(a)(2)(B)(ii), which strips federal courts of jurisdiction to review certain actions "in the discretion of" the agency.

Confirmed by SCOTUS in a 9-0 decision issued December 2024, Bouarfa v. Mayorkas (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/23-583_onjq.pdf)
