The American Bar Association (ABA) and other entities have urged the U.S. Supreme Court to mandate explanations for visa denials. A contentious immigration plan has left individuals like Betia's mother and husband in visa limbo. The Supreme Court is examining a case involving a Los Angeles couple to shed light on immigrant visa rejections and determine if visa refusals impinge on constitutionally protected interests. The Court is considering whether notifying visa applicants of inadmissibility suffices as due process. Numerous amicus briefs, including from federal lawmakers and former DHS officials, argue that the government unconstitutionally denied a man's spousal visa by not providing a detailed explanation.
