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 Federal courts give greater deference to precedent decisions as well as to unpublished decisions in which the same legal reasoning of a precedent decision was followed.
In such a case, a rule known as Chevron deference, which provides that when a law is ambiguous, the court shall defer to a permissible interpretation of the Executive Branch, will apply. On the flip I will examine Chevron deference, by reviewing the Fourth Circuit's application of the rule in the very case now before the SCOTUS. In King v. Burwell, the Fourth Circuit rejected a challenge to the Affordable Care Act that argued that the law does not permit subsidies and tax credits on the federal exchanges.
