    This court agrees with the Ninth Circuit, and it notes that other courts in this Circuit have likewise found that federal courts have jurisdiction to review U visa decisions. See, e.g., Ji Lin v. Mayorkas, 537 F. Supp. 3d 408, 414 (E.D.N.Y. 2021) (holding that federal courts have jurisdiction to review denials of I-918 petitions); Morris v. Nielsen, 374 F.
