U.S. Citizen spouse received 221(g) solely due to 75-country ban — APA + TRO viability question
U.S. citizen here. Wife had IR-1 interview May 18. Officer said paperwork was perfect. Got 221(g) white slip purely because of the nationality ban — no individual issue found. IOM medical expires October 21, 2026. 155 days left. Aware of Sangster v. Rubio (D. Nev. Jan. 28, 2026) where TRO was granted in 7 days on similar facts. Questions: How strong is an individual TRO citing Sangster given the officer made zero individual inadmissibility finding? Does medical expiry in 155 days hold up as irreparable harm or will judge say "just redo it"? Individual filing vs joining a group lawsuit — which is stronger right now? Anyone filed TROs against this ban — how fast did government respond? Ready to retain a lawyer immediately. Looking for flat fee quotes for APA complaint + TRO motion.
