No 'right' to live in US with foreign hubby, Supreme Court tells Afghan-born woman

June 15, 2015 23:04

A US woman who filed suit after her Afghan husband was denied a US entry visa because of terror suspicions lost an appeal Monday before the Supreme Court.

The Afghan-born woman had argued that her constitutional rights were being violated because she was being prevented from living in the United States with her spouse.

But the court disagreed, by a vote of 5-4 that reflected its division between conservatives and liberals.

It agreed with the administration, which bars appeals against visa denials made on grounds of "terrorist activities". The court heard arguments in this case on February 23.
