ICAP represents a U.S. military veteran and his wife in a high-stakes immigration and family law appeal before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. The case involves the couple’s effort to secure a permanent legal status for their daughter, whom they lawfully adopted abroad. Despite the validity of the adoption under both foreign and domestic law, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) denied the daughter’s application for a visa and permanent residency, placing her at risk of being separated from her family and deported from the only home she has known.
ICAP argues that the government’s position ignores the plain language of the law and violates the due process rights of military families who adopt children while serving the country. By taking this case to the Tenth Circuit, ICAP seeks to ensure that the rule of law protects the integrity of the family unit and that the government is held accountable for arbitrary decision-making that threatens the stability of veteran households.
