Blind Immigrant Wins Court Round For Citizenship

A judge has ordered the Unites State government to produce some background check documents on a blind Jordanian immigrant who has been fighting for years to become a U.S. citizen. The ruling could lead to a final decision in the case.

It’s the Federal Bureau of Investigation's name check of Zuhair Mahd, who sued the government, that's in question. The government said it performed the check before rejecting the man's application for citizenship, but the court said it wants proof the FBI check actually happened. The court wants to know the results of that check within 10 days.
