Finally, I provide consultations for consular issues and other business-based immigration questions. During the previous administration, I filed almost a dozen complaints in federal court alleging USCIS violated the APA when it denied my clients' immigration petitions. Most were settled and approved. One was ruled upon by Judge Rudolph Contreras (Info Labs Inc. v. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, et al, 19-684, U.S. Dist Ct D.D.C., March 31, 2020), and it was one of several cases which established that a Computer Systems Analyst is indeed a specialty occupation.
