The AAO and the BIA are not Federal courts, but their decisions are subject to judicial review in the Federal courts. Federal courts give greater deference to precedent decisions as well as to unpublished decisions in which the same legal reasoning of a precedent decision was followed.
The doctrine of precedent only applies when the court is actively considering a case. 1  When a case comes before the court, in general terms the judge will follow this approach: 2  Ascertain the facts by hearing from all parties, witnesses and reviewing evidence.
