Right then... is this "whoever sues the administration is successful" based on your facebook group, or a wider database, or what? Is there a list out there of all the cases that have sued and what their outcomes have been, and how long they have all taken? (The administration already have the decision of the Supreme Court in their favor so I don't buy the "they don't want to go to the Supreme Court" argument.)
What happens if he applies for a waiver and it's just denied outright? That happens, yes?
I'm just wary of giving people advice based on a few anecdotal stories, especially when in situations like the OP it is even more complex than a "normal" travel ban story.
In any case, OP was one who brought up Canada as an option so presumably he is open to it. If the goal is to live in a safe democratic country with your spouse as soon as possible, it's a good option.
No. There is no database out there although from one of the lawsuits that "shabnam lotfi" one of the lawyer in travel ban case has done they finally release the numbers of waiver that has been granted and we saw that was less than 1 percent of application.
If they deny his waiver they have to give him a reason why they didn't meet those three reason and I don't know where can he go from there.
However, if they have tie in USA which he has, they won't deny his waiver. They mostly not answering to his waiver and out it under review for years.
However, I am not sure of all the aspects.
I have been in touch with the lawyers that have conducted yamanian family sue a couple of months ago and are doing the iranian families cases now.
I have introduced Curtis Morrison and Rafael (don't know his last name) to the iranian group and proud of doing that as it ended up to the lawsuit that is happening now from iranian families.
I have been in all the groups about travel ban and talking to the people who are affecting aand fighting. I can help and have enough information that confidently can say is more than most people in this forum about travel ban specially iranian families. I am and my family are suffering under travel ban.
You want a legitimate source who tells other what to do in these horrible and inhumane situation. There is none. I wish there was.
It's all what I did what she did situation.
You are not affecting by travel ban.
you are based the legitimate of these cruel ban on supreme Court approval which was voted 5 against 4. It means 4 democratic didn't agree and 5 Republicans agreed. Therefore it was only a political game. If it was legitimate all 9 of them were agreed on travel ban.
I don't need to persuade you on anything. You are not the one who are suffering from travel ban.
I am talking to OP or anyone who is affecting here. I personally talked the lawyer who has done yamanian family law suite and is preparing the iranian law suite and if he (the OP) ever decided to follow this route I can help him to connect to those people.
Here what they have done so far
