Dear Editor:
I am pleased to announce that my office filed a Declaratory Relief Complaint agst USCIS, Ashcroft, DHS, and Yates on Nov 29 after the CIS denied adjustment of status to my client, Jiffy Javellana because his wife is a post-op transsexual, (m-f). Although her natz and U.S. passport say "female", the CIS refuses to recognize their marriage. Since Jiffy came to the US on a K-1 visa their is no I-130 denial and the only avenue for appeal is the Declaratory Relief Action. This is the first Federal lawsuit in this area. Government reply is due Jan. 29.
