Summary
In Desai v. U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Servs., Case No. 14-593 DSF, Dkt. No. 40 (C.D. Cal., filed July 24, 2015), the court found while that "[t]he language of § 1154(l) does not provide explicit statutory authority for denials of petitions on behalf of relatives of citizens who die while the petition is pending[,].... by creating an exception to that rule, it shows a clear Congressional understanding of and intent to adopt the long-standing practice of the immigration agencies."
