When a new federal court decision comes down in an immigration case, the first step is to read the actual opinion — not summaries — because the scope of who is covered can be very narrow or surprisingly broad. If you are in removal proceedings or have a pending benefit application, ask your attorney to pull the Mbueno-Vita v. Blanche opinion and compare the facts to your case before your next hearing date. Do not assume a ruling helps or hurts you without that analysis — consult a licensed immigration attorney.
