Shao Suffered Knowing that Wenjing Was Separated from the Family for No Reason

On February 3, 1983, Shao filed three I-130 petitions at the US Embassy at Shanghai for her sisters Wenjing, Xiaoming and Hooting.  The INS office in the US Embassy approved all three petitions the same day.  Wenjing was a US citizen and so her three siblings fell in the fourth preference category, which required a wait of almost ten years before they could immigrate to the United States.

USCIS lost Jai's case and ignored him for years. We sued to make it right.
Jaswant petitioned for her siblings Jai, Paramjit and Ankita. All were eligible to immigrate in 1994. The consulate granted Paramjit and Ankita visas but refused Jai. Six years and three attorneys later, Jaswant hired us to sue USCIS.

As the Consulate and USCIS realized their errors in Jai's case, they became more aggressive and then denied his case to keep him outside of the United States where he would have difficulty challenging them
