Matter of Faison v. New York City Taxi & Limousine Commn.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• declining to give deference to a BIA decision “in which the BIA adopted the same interpretation as the Department of State”
• expressing doubt that, but declining to decide whether, Chevron deference applies when the BIA adopts the State Department’s reading of a regulation
• reviewing a suit against the U.S. Secretary of State for reclassifying a visa petition from the F2A category to the F1 category
• noting, in analysis of related statutory provision, that Congress wished to “address[] the predicament of aliens, who, through no fault of their own, lose the opportunity to obtain an immediate relative visa” (quotations and citations omitted)
• explaining, in immigration case, that “[the] term ‘age’ standing in isolation normally means biological age. But the word ‘age’ in the [Child Status Protection Act] does not exist in a vacuum. Rather, it is part of an interlocking set of statutory provisions”
• “If anything, it is the government’s proposed switch that is without precedent, as there is no express statutory F2A-to-F1 mechanism in the CSPA.”
