US Supreme Court upheld 'consular nonreviewability', denying US citizens the right to challenge certain visa decisions in court.
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that US citizens cannot challenge certain visa decisions in court, upholding the legal principle of 'consular nonreviewability'. This means that citizens like Sandra Munoz, who sought to sue for her husband's denied visa, do not have a constitutional right to participate in their spouse's consular process. The decision could impact thousands of similar cases and may raise concerns about the impact on same-sex couples and the future of marriage equality protections.
