Unfortunately, the USCIS and the BIA have interpreted some sections of CSPA in a restrictive matter which has resulted in the separation of thousands of immigrant families. Fortunately, some of these restrictive decisions have been appealed to the Federal Courts and, in a few 
cases, these agency decisions have been called into question or reversed.
