Segid v. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

Petitioner waived his arguments made in appeal of Dist. Ct.’s denial of his petition for review of United States Citizen and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) denial of his application to become naturalized citizen, after USCIS found that petitioner had lied on prior immigration visa application regarding non-existence of two of his children and had lied during his naturalization interview. While petitioner had presented to Dist. Ct. arguments on merits of his naturalization claim, he neglected to address merits of naturalization claim in his opening brief before Ct. of Appeals. Accordingly, petitioner waived any potentially meritorious arguments about his eligibility for naturalization.
