About Jennifer
Biography
Attorney Jennifer Nimer is known for her experience with immigration delay lawsuits – also known as Writs of Mandamus. She has filed over 600 federal lawsuits – not only against USCIS but also against U.S. embassies and consulates abroad. Mrs. Nimer believes that many applicants are unfairly labeled “security concerns” or are put in extended administrative processing without justification. Through her immigration delay litigation, she has reunited dozens of families – including children who were stuck abroad away from their parents, families affected by the travel ban and individuals applying for various types of non-immigrant visas. She also regularly files lawsuits for nonimmigrant visa applicants who are stuck in administrative processing for prolonged periods of time.
Prior to opening her own firm, Mrs. Nimer worked for the Columbus Chapter CAIR-Ohio, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, from 2004 – 2018. She received her bachelor’s degree from Capital University in 2000, where she majored in Criminology and minored in Psychology. She earned her Juris Doctorate degree from Capital University Law School in 2003 with a concentration in Family Law.
In 2017 she was appointed by the Franklin County Commissioners to a three-year term on the New American Advisory Council (“NAAC”). She previously served on the Board of Directors for the ACLU of Ohio for six years. She regularly gives presentations on immigration issues and has frequently been interviewed by the media relating to immigration delay cases.
Mrs. Nimer is admitted to practice law in Ohio and Washington states, and is also admitted to 16 federal courts around the country, the District of Columbia as well as the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. She has been a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) since 2011.
