Writs of Certiorari before the United States Supreme Court

To fully exhaust all potential avenues of appeal, an individual may appeal an immigration related denial to the United States Supreme Court in what is called a Writ of Certiorari. The U.S. Supreme Court accepts for review only a small percentage of cases. In past sessions, the Supreme Court received more than 8,000 petitions (in one year) and, on average, reviewed/accepted only about 80 cases for that year. Our office has submitted Docket number: 01-71407 U.S. Supreme Court, Petition for Certiorari & Application for Stay, No. 07A452 (2007) U.S. Supreme Court, Petition for a writ of certiorari, Keiti Kayyal, et al., Petitioners v. Peter D. Keisler, Acting Attorney General, 07A384, submitted to Justice Kennedy (2007), 2003.
