Lawsuit Against US Embassy Ankara for J-1 Physician

Dr. A is a brilliant and talented doctor from Turkey who was awarded a prestigious fellowship at a cancer center in Florida.  Due to the embassy’s unreasonable delay in issuing his J-1 visa, he was going to lose his fellowship if he could not travel to the US in time to begin.  Dr. A and the cancer center retained Nimer Law to represent them in a lawsuit against the embassy in Ankara.  Nimer Law filed a mandamus lawsuit and a motion for a preliminary injunction to keep Dr. A from missing the start date of his fellowship.  We are pleased to say that Dr. A received his J-1 visa shortly thereafter and is now in the U.S. working at the cancer center.
