****UPDATE****
We have more than enough responses now, so I am about to close the form. Please read this article to know more about what will happen next.
The AILA is the professional body for immigration lawyers in the USA). They have started the process to challenge the immigration ban in a class action lawsuit. The obvjective would be to get a Federal court to block the ban, and I think there is a pretty good chance to do that, given how unfair the ban actually is, and the irreparable harm it does to people around the world.
I have agreed with the AILA to gather some willing DV participants to the suit. They would like a good sampling of participants from around the world, and different visa types, so that they can demonstrate the broad impact and affected people. There is no cost to become a plaintiff – they are doing this work without fees.
So – I have created a simple online form where you can record your details to be considered as a participant on the lawsuit. Your information will be viewable by me, and made fully available to the team of lawyers at the AILA – so it you are not comfortable with that, please don’t complete the form.
They will not use everyone from the form – they need a good sampling of cases. If they win, the benefit will be for all – not just those that participate in the suit.
So – it’s a simple form – please take 5 minutes to fill it out and the AILA team will reach out in due course.
To be clear the READY for scheduling email is the one that starts like this:
“Congratulations! Our records indicate that you have submitted all required documentation to the Kentucky Consular Center and are ready to be scheduled for an interview when your case number becomes current. Interviews are scheduled numerically based on case numbers that have completed processing.”
Here is a link to the form
FYI – this is the same team that published this call for participants.
June 23, 2020 at 17:23
Done. Hope for the best
June 23, 2020 at 17:24
Does supporting it could have negative implications in this one or future processes?
June 23, 2020 at 18:19
No. The government are not allowed to retaliate in that way.
June 23, 2020 at 19:19
Can people with family based case also fill out the form ?
June 23, 2020 at 19:32
You could do that – and then the AILA team can decide if they need those cases.
June 23, 2020 at 17:25

June 23, 2020 at 18:19

June 23, 2020 at 17:35

BRIT YOU ARE AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I hope this works! My wife and I are filling the form right now. Not enough words to thank you and AILA for your efforts!
June 23, 2020 at 17:41
With September 30th being the final date is there even time for a lawsuit?
June 23, 2020 at 18:17
Yes. A TRO could be obtained quite fast.
June 23, 2020 at 20:25
Hi Brit, thank you for your immense assistance on dv cases. Please enlighten me on the meaning of TRO. Thanks
June 23, 2020 at 20:41
Temporary Restraining Order. It means a court can restrain (or block) someone from certain actions, in this case it would be blocking the ban entirely or forcing modifications. The “temporary” part means they can block it while both sides get prepared to argue it – and that is useful because the ban would be blocked almost immediately. In order to get a TRO – you need to demonstrate that people are actually harmed by the ban – hence my form to collect plaintiffs.
June 24, 2020 at 11:11
How fast do you recon?
June 24, 2020 at 19:25
I don’t know.
June 23, 2020 at 17:42

June 23, 2020 at 18:15

1. No
2. Yes
June 23, 2020 at 18:18

June 23, 2020 at 18:19
Thanks very much for your efforts Mr Brit. Really appreciate. And may God continue to bless u
June 23, 2020 at 18:22
Urgent Urgent Urgent
Please pay attention to this :
in the Proclamation 10014 of April 22, 2020 they said : Suspention of Entry of Immigrants……
But they did not said : Suspention of Issued…… and between the two a lot of difference.
that’s meane we still have a chance to get a visa but we can not entre only after December 2020.
So Please No Panic.
June 23, 2020 at 19:08
Your understanding is incorrect.
June 23, 2020 at 18:27
I was not selected in the dvlottery2021 can still fill the lawsuit form
June 23, 2020 at 19:07
No. Thanks for the support though.
June 23, 2020 at 18:29
Thanks very much mr Brit, I filled the form already.we hope in God’s miracle
June 23, 2020 at 18:31

June 23, 2020 at 18:39
I’ve been here for a long time as a silent reader, now it’s time for action.
I must thank you Brit for all your efforts, been reading you more than a year and following your precious advices.
Wishing you all the best
June 23, 2020 at 18:47
HI,
Please, what do you think about this
Suspension of Entry of Immigrants But not Suspension of Issuance !
that’s means we still have a chance to get a visa
KC
June 23, 2020 at 19:02
No. I specifically discussed that in my video. They will not issue a visa when that visa cannot be used, because people holding visas are exempt from the ban.
June 23, 2020 at 18:52
Thanks Brit for all the efforts.we hope and pray for a positive response
June 23, 2020 at 18:52

Please SPREAD this idea of PETITION (by AILA) around You and please sign IN.
Please, Sign, Sign, and Sign.
Trump is using Covid-19 as just a pretext. His dark deepest considerations may be elsewhere.
Reasonably speaking, what would the impact of 50,000 incoming legal migrants on more than 20 millions jobless people: Impact = Zero.
Xenophobia and hatred can only be the motives of these recurrent bans.
Thank you dear Sir Simon and the AILA Team, and all around.
June 23, 2020 at 19:59
Sir this initiative is good, pls sir let it work,we can’t let this opportunity go I have invested on it so much and the dignity of USA be uphold we the Anglo Saxon countries are proud of the justice and democracy in this country
June 23, 2020 at 20:05
Thanks a lot for your invaluable support
June 23, 2020 at 20:13
Filled in and Submitted! Thank you so much Brit Simon and AILA for what your doing. Simon you are a really good guy and you give me hope that it will work out. Thank you again for the work that you do!!

June 23, 2020 at 20:19
I hear they would require you to pay $1,000 to process your case in law suit. good luck….
June 23, 2020 at 21:40
There is another lawsuit where the fee is $1000 as a start. But this lawsuit mentioned above is free for participants.
June 23, 2020 at 21:53
Rustam Iralin is just trying to create a negative opinion, who knows who sent him write here. Dont know why you let such bad oriented comments
June 23, 2020 at 20:19
Done.
June 23, 2020 at 20:20
how long does this lawsuit last ?? how long will the lawsuit against this lawsuit last ?? does it last more than two weeks ??
June 23, 2020 at 21:07
Thanks Simon and every lawers that fighting this situation that has been politicized over core values of Americans. Trump couldn’t do much about illegal immigrants and his wall on the border so he wants to take away from those who are following all the lawful steps… using Covid19 as an excuse. I’m from Kyrgyzstan and we have one travel ban that is because we have been religiously profiled and this Covid ban just ads up…
