Opinion/Order [23]
FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Illinois has ruled that David Rubman exhausted his administrative remedies and that his suit against U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services may continue. Rubman requested statistical data on the number of H-1B visa applications, approvals, denials, and withdrawals for each fiscal year from 2009-2012. The agency responded with a single-page summary. Rubman expressed dissatisfaction with the response, indicating that he wanted more data. The agency replied that, although there were some emails related to the calculations, they were not responsive to his request. Rubman filed an administrative appeal, which the agency rejected on the grounds that it had fully responded. Rubman then filed suit. The agency contended that Rubman had not exhausted his administrative remedies because his administrative appeal was filed too late. The court, however, disagreed. The court pointed out "Rubman's appeal was dismissed on the merits; that is, it was determined that Rubman's FOIA request had been honored in full. As the administrative body elected not to enforce a procedural bar against Rubman, neither will this court." The court also rejected the agency's contention that Rubman did not have standing because his request had been granted in full. The court observed that "Rubman extensively details why, in his view, the request was not fully honored. The Court declines at this stage of the pleadings to wade into the labyrinth of conflicting statistical interpretations. The Court lacks sufficient information to determine the correctness of the parties' claims on these disputed issues. These disputes are, as Rubman accurately posits, more appropriate for the summary judgment stage of the litigation process."
