United States ex rel. Knauff v. Shaughnessy | 338 U.S. 537 (1950)

A common misperception is that a noncitizen who marries an American citizen is automatically entitled to come to the United States. But as seen in United States ex rel. Knauff versus Shaughnessy, marriage doesn’t guarantee a right of entry.

Ellen Knauff was born in Germany but later moved to Czechoslovakia and then went to England as a refugee. After World War Two ended, she worked as a civilian for the United States War Department in Germany. She married a United States citizen who was a veteran and civil employee of the army.

In nineteen forty-eight, Knauff sought to enter the United States and be naturalized. The government recommended that she be excluded without a hearing because her admission would be prejudicial to the interests of the United States. Knauff instituted habeas corpus proceedings, contending that the War Brides Act prevented the government from denying her entry. The district court dismissed her case. The Court of Appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court granted cert.
