Successful Passport Delay Lawsuit

A U.S. citizen, originally from Somalia, experienced a 16-month delay after applying for his passport.  He inquired multiple times as to the delay, even flying to the Minnesota passport agency to be interviewed, but could not get any information as to why his passport was not being renewed.  Attorney Nimer filed a lawsuit requesting the Court to determine the client’s citizenship and force the Department of State to give the client his passport.  After litigating the case for several months, the client received his passport and was overjoyed that he could finally travel again.
