In Zafarmand v. Pompeo, 3 Iranian American families challenge the U.S. Government’s unreasonable administrative delays in adjudicating 9 travel ban waivers. Challenged policies include the U.S. Government’s usurpation of individual consular officers authority and discretion to adjudicate travel ban waivers, and the designation of that authority and discretion to non-consular officers, including consular managers, visa chiefs, consular section chiefs, consular management the Visa Office, and Quality Support, Inc. contractors, which is unlawful under Presidential Proclamation 9645, §3(C) ("PP 9645").

Plaintiffs in this action include U.S. citizens, their families, and their Iranian national immediate relatives who have been denied timely adjudication of case-by-case PP 9645 waivers.
