Supreme Court’s Immigration Law Decisions (1958 – Present)

We link to all immigration law decisions made by the Supreme Court of the United States from 1958 to the present.

We link not only to the decisions themselves, but to the audios of the oral arguments before the Court, a summary of the facts of the case, the question before the Court and the Court’s conclusion. We also link to the reading of the opinion in the case.

“I needed a super heavy weight immigration attorney because USCIS denied my naturalization application and started deportation procedures…Mr Shusterman and his team where able to reverse both immigration decisions and I am now a U.S. citizen…It takes a rare lawyer to be able to succeed in reversing BOTH such decisions. He saved my career and my family.” (More client reviews…)
