So just around 24 hours ago I published a form where people could provide their details in order that the legal team from the AILA could pick some representative plaintiffs in various countries, regions and stages of the process.
The response has been overwhelming – we have over 1100 cases who have offered to be plaintiffs – covering well over 2000 selectees with family. At this point I am going to close the form, because pretty much every scenario and region has been represented, and from many countries. Some of you decided to describe your circumstances, and what the lottery has meant to you and your families. The stories are heartbreaking, and I don’t believe any decent person could remain cold-hearted when reading these stories. I won’t be publishing any specifics from these stories to respect your privacy, but you have been heard, loud and clear.
The team of lawyers at AILA and the Justice Action Center wanted me to make sure that you all know they have heard you, they aren’t ignoring you, and they will do all they can to fight for you.
So what will happen next.
Well the lawyers have had realtime access to the data collected in the form. So they have all the names, case numbers family names and so on. They need to go through the list and pick (somewhat randomly) cases that “represent” a group of people. So – that means if they had 100 cases from a region all at the same stage, they would not need to list all 100 names as plaintiffs, but they would pick one or two of those names. In that way they will build a list of cases/names that represent all selectees in the same position. This is important because if they win, they win for ALL the selectees, whether you are named or not, whether you filled in your details or not. That is what they are trying to achieve.
Now – it is NOT possible to predict the outcome. These are an excellent team of lawyers and have been successful in challenging and blocking the government multiple times before. But there are no guarantees – it will be up to a federal judge to decide.
Some have asked when the court case will be filed and heard. I can’t predict that exactly, the lawyers need time to prepare a case, it is not something they should rush, but they are aware of the time sensitivity.
Some have asked will this go to the supreme court. Well – to get to the supreme court, a case must first be heard in a lower court – in our case a federal court. But it’s important to note that a federal court has the power to issue a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) which could immediately block the Executive order. That court would consider doing that if people are being harmed by the EO (which of course, is clear). That is one possible outcome, though not guaranteed. The court would then set a date for a later hearing, but in the meantime the EO would be blocked. So – that would be a great outcome. There are perhaps other ways it could work out, but we will see in due course.
Of course, we STILL have the problem that the embassies are closed. Challenging the ban does NOT force the embassies to reopen. So – we much continue to monitor the opening strategies by the embassies. But the legal challenge, if successful, would at least give us the most time possible before the deadline of September 30th.
Regarding the deadline of September 30th – it cannot be extended. Once we are past that date, any remaining chances are gone. All we can do is hope the legal challenge works AND that the embassies reopen.

Hi Simon,
if AILA lawsuit will not be succesfull is there any chance to gather expired visa holders and fill another lawsuit especially for re-issueing expired visa cases?
Of course I really hope aila lawsuit will pass the judge but if not we will loose more because of left our job, closed rental contract and we had 2-3 weeks between the travel ban and our moving to the US.
I hope we can rely on you when time has came.
June 28, 2020 at 19:12
I don’t know what will happen or how much time will be left. All we can do is wait and see.
June 28, 2020 at 23:14
Let’s hope this will be sucessful in Federal.Court coz my case still at NVC no approved of Docs yet and i sent them since last year November case number 2020AF53##5 but i believe on these Lawyers are awesome on they are works.
Good lucky all winners DV2020
July 1, 2020 at 16:09
In the same position. #AF71***..Documents not confirmed. We were So close
June 29, 2020 at 00:05
by this ban trump is acting like a little kid he did this just for the election
he need to read this articel
https://a.msn.com/r/2/BB163LwQ?m=en-us&referrerID=InAppShare
I hope the aila will provide conclusive evidence to win the case
i have few questions mr Brit
1/When will the result be announced?
2/what do you think about the chance of winning this case ?
3/and if we lose can another lawsuit be filed?
Thank you Brit you have done so much for us , regards.
June 29, 2020 at 01:37
Patience.
June 29, 2020 at 02:27
An interview does not guarantee a visa. Do not make travel plans, quit employment, sell belongings or make other irreversible life changes until you have an approved visa in your hands.
.
Please Follow this simple rule . Every USA embassy and travel . USA and Britain on mentioned this thing on theirs website clearly. It’s not a gamble it’s a process. Wish everything will go alright. Best of luck you all.
June 29, 2020 at 03:21
Thank you and the lawyers for all the hard work, as a 2020 winner whom sent out DS260 I’ve given up hope by now but seeing all these efforts made comforts my sorrow. Thank you so much!
June 29, 2020 at 05:05
How to participate in join curtiss lawsuit and what about fees???

June 29, 2020 at 10:22
Hi brit hope you’re fine . I’ve a question .
I’m dv2020 winner ,waiting for a interview, does the proclamation forces the embassy not to give visas till sep30?? If not i will get the visa and wait the 1.01.2021 to entry the US .Am i wrong ?
Grateful if You answer ❤ .
June 29, 2020 at 22:35
The ban, if left in place, means no further DV2020 cases would get their visas. That doesn’t mean delayed. It means those winners get no further benefit from their win.
June 29, 2020 at 13:40
Hello Simon! Do you have got any news from AILA what’s going on with their negotiation about dv2020?
June 29, 2020 at 23:01
No. Please be patient.
June 29, 2020 at 18:35
Hi Brit!I have a question if you have any information regarding this,it would be very helpful to me.I was reading in a forum for dv lottery that if AILA wins,it will be effective for those who had already an interview scheduled and got canceled then.I’m glad to hear that but what about us,if AILA wins and if embassies open,will it help us too that we’re waiting for an interview date?I received my confirmation email on 16 March.Thanks in advance!
June 29, 2020 at 23:16
It is too early to know what the case will achieve – so don’t make any assumptions about that or the outcome.
June 29, 2020 at 23:49
Me to ..and these is totally unfair to dv2020 winners .
June 29, 2020 at 20:13
Hi Simon, My family is a DV-2020 winner outside the US, and we are deeply in shock.
Reading your site, what is the difference between AILA case and Curtis Morrison’s Mandamus case? Is it “either or”? Still want to do everything humanly possible.
June 30, 2020 at 00:12
The two cases are very different. The AILA case has more than enough names now, so no more names are needed for that. Curtis’ case is accepting cases still.
June 29, 2020 at 21:09
Hi Simon, I am DV2020 winner. I would like to share my opinion with you and all your followers.
DV lottery winning is a God gift and no man can nullify it. In the last few months the whole world has been in turmoil and the USA in particular. DV visa process was stopped due to force majeure, but due to the same it will be extended after the set deadline – September 30, 2020. This means that the process will not be closed for dv2020 winners, but only postponed until the conditions are met. There is no reason to despair, just be patient and believe!
June 30, 2020 at 00:16
Hmmmm. If that is so why did God send the pandemic, or inflict upon us Trump. Seems like God is just making work for herself.
June 30, 2020 at 08:33
Yes Simon. It seems. But we will see. This is the first time in the history of the DV lottery. Since no one knows anything about fate of DV2020, including KCC and embassies, we should think positively. Cheers!
June 30, 2020 at 09:01
@Vesna, I like that power of positive thinking. God Almighty is a God of Favour. So we shall be Favoured IJN.
Cheers!
June 30, 2020 at 11:17
It sounds positive to me too?, but I called KCC yesterday, asking is there any hope for DV 2020? And the answer was no.
I’m heartbroken!!!! Let’s hope on AILA lawsuit, and be positive ???
June 30, 2020 at 11:01
Hope you’re right ??
June 29, 2020 at 21:36
Good day Mr Simon Thanks for the video, i am really worried , i do not know what to do now, what about the case of AILA how is it going, if you pay the $1000 upfront and the ban do not remove at the court for MANDAMUS Case ,meaning the money is not refundable right , what if the AILA win the case at the court what will happen with people who have join the
MANDAMUS and what if MANDAMUS win the case what will happen with people who do not joint him,
June 29, 2020 at 22:05
Right there is only 24 hours to sign up for Curtis lawsuit. I trust in AILA since they are fighting for all of us. Either we all get a chance or none. Inevitably buyIng a chance without minimal guarantee doesn’t sit well on me. Maybe a miracle happens and something unexpected good awaits us. Keep up your prayers.
June 29, 2020 at 22:14
GOOD DAY , Gentrit, please do you know when AILA case coming up. as i do not joint it i know is for all of us
June 30, 2020 at 00:17
These are not simple things. You know the choices, you must do what you feel is right for you.
June 29, 2020 at 22:07
please Mr simon, i am very sorry to keep writing you you make a point on the video , i do not understand ,if Mandamus win that he will force that Government to do thing fast ,and they will remove some peoples names who do not join mandamus and they will will going on the people have join the mandamus case , what i want to know is that my case was already at the embassy and my interview was canceled
June 30, 2020 at 00:19
Curtis’ lawsuit can only benefit people named on it.
June 30, 2020 at 11:04
So those who did not entered dont have chances to benefit from AILA???
June 30, 2020 at 04:50
hlo briti…if the ban blocked and emabassy of my county open then the dv process continue or not..
June 30, 2020 at 19:18
Yes – but timing is obviously an issue…
June 30, 2020 at 05:19
Hi I am seeing a flight on August from Guinea to New York if I travel will the US receive me I am afraid to buy the ticket and don’t know if I will be accepted if I landed to JFK
Please what should I do my visa will expire on August 15
June 30, 2020 at 19:19
If you have a visa – fly.
June 30, 2020 at 05:55
if aila win the case …it is benefit for which interview schedule …..rest of the dont get the change
June 30, 2020 at 06:11
Who said you that ?
June 30, 2020 at 13:22
Can we still enter the lawsuit ?
June 30, 2020 at 21:30
THe AILA lawsuit has enough names.
June 30, 2020 at 15:44
Hi Simon, could you clarify in regards to a previous post of yours:
1. If a TRO is achieved against Don’s ban, cases could be interviewed in the meantime if embassies open. Yet still not beyond the fiscal deadline at the end of September, correct? It would only open a window that closes with the deadline?
2. You mentioned a murky record of cases that were carried on after the deadline – but that they do exist. Curtis’s lawsuit is geared towards getting his clients a priority in line before the fiscal deadline. But would his lawsuit also be able to carry his clients beyond the deadline, and somehow carry their process further, maybe even into 2021? (You touched on that topic once but it’s not completely clear to me how that fiscal law could be defied and how realistic that is for his case)
3. Since I have not received my 2NL yet, could a judge rule that Curtis’s case is granted for those clients who were already scheduled, but deny it for someone like me who never received an invitation?
Still trying to make up my mind about joining the lawsuit tonight, so your perspective is very appreciated. No pressure though, just asking for your thoughts not judgement ; )
Thanks a lot in advance!
June 30, 2020 at 23:01
1. Correct.
2. That is murky because although a lawsuit successfully argued in 2017 that visas should be put aside for issuance after the deadline, the government have so far not complied with that judgement. And that is after almost 3 years. Not one visa from that judgement was issued after September 30th. So – the lawsuit can claim a moral victory, but since no visa was issued it is still not clear that they won anything. It could be that the judge ordered the government to do something that the government were not able to do. We don’t know how that will play out yet.
3. Well the point of his lawsuit would be to try to get faster processing – but again, as you point out, KCC could easily say your case is not ready for scheduling, and how do they justify prioritizing your case over other cases waiting for scheduling in a year when MANY cases are waiting for scheduling and there is too little time. The 2017 case had different underlying issues (the ban affecting Yemeni selectees). So the government can easily argue that they are doing the best they can, given the circumstances and the workload.
July 1, 2020 at 19:41
But another victory in that case is gonna be the cancelled of 3 months of delay that dv2021 process were going to have. And that important too
June 30, 2020 at 23:43
Thank you for your extensive reply Simon!
FYI – The embassy in Frankfurt today told me they are in stage 2 of reopening. Could apply to most European countries as well, given a similar Covid situation around here.
July 1, 2020 at 00:15
Yes. Stage 2 means 80% capacity. That is not the level needed for interviews to resume, but it is some progress.
July 1, 2020 at 00:46
I knew it. I believe on the 20th they will be working based as used to. Hopefully AILA wins the lawsuit. There is also not many German winners left maybe 200 some
July 1, 2020 at 10:53
Hi Dior, may I ask where you got the information about July 20th from? I was told nobody knows, there’s no schedule, and they are just taking it week by week.
July 1, 2020 at 11:09
I am curious about where you got July 20 from as well, I’m waiting for an interview in the Netherlands
July 1, 2020 at 11:45
Is just my instinct feeling. But lets see. AILA needs to conquer first.
July 1, 2020 at 12:39
Hope u are right ?❤
July 1, 2020 at 07:56
Hi Brit, The current ban is effective till end of Dec. If Trump lose in Nov, can he still extend it till 2021 given the new president would only be inaugurated in Jan. Hopefully new president remove the ban within his first 100day but it might take some time. That means the ban could be there till Mar/Apr’21 potentially ? Just thinking how long the interview period for DV2021 could potentially be shortened under a situation where Trump lose the election. If Trump somehow win that would take our hope away I guess..
July 1, 2020 at 18:49
Once Trump loses the election he is still the president between November and January. Hopefully he will be too busy lining his pockets and handing out pardons to his friends to implement extensions of bans, but it is possible he could do that, and yes we would have to see if and when Biden removes the bans. So – “wait and see” is all we can do.
July 4, 2020 at 23:04
Hi Brit, Some clarrification pls…Currently Trumph has implemented travel ban for 31st Dec 2020.. If he didnt extend it.. then by 31st Dec 2020 it will automatically get cancelled or the president has to declare it is cancelled??
July 5, 2020 at 00:26
It ends unless extended.
July 1, 2020 at 11:52
Hello Brit, please u can kindly remove my name from the AILA case, because I finally got the guts to join the Curtis case. Thank you very much for all you are doing. I hope God hears our cry and come to our aid through his angels like you and all the lawyers concerned with all dv lawsuits.
July 1, 2020 at 19:39
They seem to have picked their candidates, so if you hear from them, just explain you are on the Mandamus suit.
July 1, 2020 at 20:36
OK, thank you
July 1, 2020 at 13:49
Dear Brit, some of DV 2020 winners suggest asking “Democrats Congressmen to pass a law to extend our visa program over the fiscal year”. How do you fill about that?
July 1, 2020 at 13:50
feel )
July 1, 2020 at 15:33
Really @DMitry I strongly support you .we are very victimize.Brit could plz talk to the congressmen for our life and future.congress are the creator of the dv lottery if they take seriously they can extend or postpone the deadline of dv 2020.we wait about 1 year but we get nothing. This not minor matter. About 380000 people are waiting for Visa.This is totally unfair . otherwise dv lottery is meaningless .why they select people if they can’t give the visa. There is no any sense about the dv lottery.This pandemic exist world wide this our fault.every things can be postpone but dv process can postpone does this make sense ? Now you can save our life brit you can concern with congress men and Interpret our problem very seriously to them. Eventually it save our life dv 2020.You very great and kind Evey step of our life .Thank you for everything of your efforts.
July 1, 2020 at 19:50
A waste of time, when we have no time to waste.
July 1, 2020 at 20:32
Are there any downsides of trying that?
July 1, 2020 at 20:34
False hope, wasting time, wasting resources. Other than that, no.
July 1, 2020 at 20:48
Thank you, Brit
July 1, 2020 at 17:07
Simon its 1 Jul, any news/update about AILA’s lawsuit ?
July 1, 2020 at 18:39
You mention the date – is there some relevance of the date?
July 1, 2020 at 19:48
Hello sir,
Excuse me to ask about something very different from the current topic but am a dv2021 winner too. Despite the ban until 31st of December, can I submit my ds260 now?
Am CN AF32XX.
Thanks
July 1, 2020 at 20:30
Yes
July 1, 2020 at 20:46
Dear Brit,
I got this email from Innovation Law Lab. Is this related to the AILA’s Lawsuit? Because I have only joined to AILAs Lawsuit. I dont have any idea about this. Please advice
Hello,
I’m writing to follow up on an inquiry you made regarding your diversity visa interview that has been impacted by the recent Presidential Proclamation. I’d like to perhaps discuss with you the possibility of serving as a plaintiff in our class action challenging the Proclamation, but would first like to learn a bit more about your circumstances and the status of your interview. If you are interested, would you be available in the next day or so to discuss? Please let me know, thank you!
July 1, 2020 at 21:21
Yes – that is the team working with the AILA. They are splitting up the work and have assigned multiple resources from Innovation Law Lab, Justics Action Center and AILA themselves. Just consider it as one team.
July 2, 2020 at 07:23
Thank you. I will reply them
July 1, 2020 at 23:14
Hey Simon,
Would some media coverage on this help? I have some people I can chat to?

Thanks for sharing the link. I have signed the petition. please everyone sign the petition. Never ever give up!
July 2, 2020 at 15:12
I read a comment on someone who had submitted a ds260 and was advised by kcc not to submit the documents to them and instead have them ready for the interview
July 2, 2020 at 23:08
No.
I believe they simply used a old confirmation email by mistake. I informed them.
July 3, 2020 at 05:38
There is an article which mentions Simon here
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/07/green-card-lottery-winners-feel-cheated-trump-visa-ban-200702165123186.html
It would be good for more of us to seek out the press and talk to them in the hopes that more stories like this will be published to bring awareness to the public
July 3, 2020 at 06:24
Not only engineer couple.we all are affected by this now we all are in mentally depression.we lost everything money time job who is responsible for this? depression is dangerous.there should be alternative way for dv 2020.
July 3, 2020 at 21:40
It’s britsimonsays.com, the article got it wrong with britsimon.com.
July 3, 2020 at 06:39
Hi Brit , supposing the ban is lifted and embassies reopen on the 20th of July and one receives 2NL :
1) would it be possible to do medicals and catch up with time before the interview?
2) could one take a week to do medicals?
3) or could the results be sent to the embassy later, that is after the interview?
July 3, 2020 at 14:10
Well firstly – the 20th is just a date one guy plucked out of the sky with no reason – so don’t rely on that. But let’s use that to illustrate. We would also need to assume that the ban is lifted by then which would take a restraining order by the AILA suit. BOTH things need to happen for the following to be real.
1. For those that can be scheduled, yes – because 2NLs in late July would only be for September interviews. August would be available for embassies to reschedule cases previously scheduled, but cancelled. Obviously one month is not enough time to interview all remaining cases.
2. There would not be a rush. You must be thinking August is still available. It’s gone.
3. Again – see 2.
July 3, 2020 at 08:22
Hello Simon , I have a question, this Trump ban say there is a hold on visa issuing for 90 percent of immigrant types , let’s say they left the ban on the in end of the year , so they are supposed to resume processing all immigrants files who were affected on the ban , but unfortunately they cant do it for DV2020 applicant bcuz they passed September 30 .
So we can say this ban affectEd on DV2020 winners completely , and its partially for other type of immigrants I mean for certain time .
MR.Simon , do you think Is it logic and fair for this ban to affect on DV2020 winners only bcuz after the ban will expire they will resume to process other immigrant applicants , but the DV2020 winners they lost everything.
July 3, 2020 at 14:12
Of course it is not logical or fair.
July 3, 2020 at 09:31
Hello brit,
Any news from AILA? Because i have seen them posting a resource on their website yesterday but it’s for members only
July 3, 2020 at 14:16
No. Patience.
July 3, 2020 at 17:54
Hello Brit, hope you are doing good. I want to ask something. If AILA wins the case (which I really, really hope so, finger crossed) and dv2020 is extended beyond the 30 sept 2020, is it possible for the winners who didn’t get the confirmation email or an interview date, to get an interview email since the VB is current since April? I would appreciate your answer. Thank you.
July 3, 2020 at 20:27
1. The deadline will not be extended.
2. We need AILA to win the case AND for embassy to reopen.
3. We have now lost August for interviews, meaning we only have one possible month left – September.
4. The remaining time is nowhere near enough time for all cases to be interviewed.
5. There are probably more cases that have received the ready for scheduling email than we could fit in 1 month – in fact probably more than could be fitted in 3 months.
July 4, 2020 at 21:20
Hi Brit
1. If you know and have the opportunity – could you please provide information and explain -Why it is so Super-Impossible to change the end dates for DV 2020 and DV 2021.. in these emergencies caused by a contagious disease worldwide
2. How do you personally think, should there be a withdrawal of DV Lottery in 2020 October-November for the period 2021-2022 (under conditions of uncertainty)
3. Under such conditions, it is becoming alarming that President Trump would lay off a large number of people working (for example )at the КCC and USCIS because the volume of their work would be significantly reduced.
July 4, 2020 at 21:28
1. Because it is a matter of law. To change the dates would require an act of law, and the lawmakers are far more concerned about many things other than this.
2. I’m not sure what you mean, but my personal opinion is unimportant.
3. He isn’t doing that. The furloughs being discussed do not affect KCC.
July 3, 2020 at 20:09
Hi Brit, am really depressed by Trump’s immigration ban and freeze on green card visas. Its not easy to get selected. It’s once in 200years that one can have such luck. Pls inform the AILA to be aware about the deadline September 30th which would be the end of our journey. So that our last hope will die Not.
July 3, 2020 at 22:11
I have heard one immigration lawyer saying that they spoke with the Department of State about the latin american consulates reopening and they said that they are planning to reopen in the next couple of weeks depends on the country situation by the COVID-19. He said that the department of State needs to be sure that the customers and obviously their employees are going to safe. In addition they will work with middle capacity to avoid social contact.

July 3, 2020 at 22:24
Hi Britt
When you said, we lost August what it’s mean ??
Because we are still in biginning of July and I already received confirmation e-mail that my case is completed and ready for an interview.
Must i lost hope ?
July 4, 2020 at 00:56
It’s July. 2NLs sent in July are for September. 2NLs for August would have been sent in June.
July 4, 2020 at 11:10
Brit hello .. my case is at NVC #dv2020 … Now we are at july , ts enought time for my case to recive visa if the embasies are opened ? Till september 30? Grateful if you replay ??
July 4, 2020 at 19:00
There is not enough time for all cases.
July 4, 2020 at 21:23
My case is 24*** ???
July 4, 2020 at 21:26
That doesn’t help. All you can do is wait and see.
July 4, 2020 at 06:09
I get you !!
July 4, 2020 at 07:19
if there is only one month for interview then there is totally unfair with rest of cases…..aila win doesnt mean he win…..
July 4, 2020 at 18:13
I have never suggested the AILA can solve all the problems or create ample time.
July 4, 2020 at 07:53
Not one month, if the suspension is remove this month and Embassies open, we will have the month of August and September for the interview, you did not understand the message of Mr. Simon, he speaks of the month of August because the letters of interviews always arrive two months in advance
July 4, 2020 at 10:41

IF the AILA win, AND the embassies reopen very soon, August will only be for rescheduled interviews. KCC will only be able to schedule new interviews in September.
July 4, 2020 at 10:18
@Dv2020A and @Caline, we should continue to pray. God will use AILA to set us free from this ban. And I believe if that happens, massive scheduling of cases will be done.
July 4, 2020 at 10:56
I‘d say so too. I‘m sure KCC knows if embassies reopen and the ban gets lifted they gotta work a little faster than usual. So I hope countries with less winners manage to schedule mostly all.

@Dior … do you think cases at NVC have a chance ?
July 4, 2020 at 10:20
Hi @BIH
I strongly believe that.
Just be positives
July 4, 2020 at 10:59
Exactly @Dior
July 4, 2020 at 15:47

Hello Brit.. when will AILA take place
July 4, 2020 at 19:18
They are planning to file the week commencing the 13th.
July 4, 2020 at 19:55
Good luck to AILA and all help anyway where he coming from We need it .
But I still trust in American values and they take account all this things , time is very short and critical but maybe changes will come
Within 30 days after proclamation Trump have to revisit this proclamation and “ CAN “ put dv 2020 as an exception because our deadline , the staff on embassy and embassy opened created a flow and surely Trump administration still working on how to manage the flow and even if we are less than. 2 months but dedicated only for dv 2020 we will all have time to pass .
And maybe after 60 days it will be the turn of H1B for exemple or another visa and so on …
The only way for me to manage the crisis and the backlog
Thanks

You can hope – but hope doesn’t always work out. You just have to wait and see.

Sir , can the Court be convinced that ( because Tramp changed the low due the pandemic) , so the Court – in turn – can change the law – for the Same reason ..i.e.. the pandemic- so that the Court to postpone the winners of dv2020 to be processed after the pandemic (and after the 30 septemper 2020) , that is reasonable request because this is constituting a saving of efforts – already done- in processing the dv2020 winners data at all USA agencies … for example KCC , (all most all of them is just waiting the consular office meeting ) .
This is also a fair request to postpone DV2020 to be processed after the pandemic & side by side with dv2021 because they are as same as dv2021 winners but also with a ready processed data,
July 4, 2020 at 22:11
1. Trump did not change the law.
2. Courts don’t change laws. They settle arguments about whether something is lawful or not.
July 4, 2020 at 22:27
Hi Brit, from your reply @ Othman, I wish to ask if the immigration ban by Trump is lawful?
July 4, 2020 at 22:35
Well that’s exactly the point of the lawsuit.
July 5, 2020 at 21:07
Hi Brit,
Since the DV 2021 will be delayed, do I stand any chance for interview before the deadline. My case number is 2021AF83xxx
July 6, 2020 at 18:17
Obviously delays are an increased risk for high case numbers who are already at risk.

Major Lawsuit Filed To Save Families From Trump H-1B Visa Ban. One lawsuit has already been filed by Indians to challenge this ban on their behaves.
We do pray and hope that Jesus Christ the son of God will fill the AILA attorneys with wisdom and foresight to challenge and overturn this ban on our behaves so that glory will be given onto him Amen ?.
Big brother Brits, I owed you so much even if I don’t migrate to America, you preach virtues and practice virtue, more wisdom and knowledge, You’re a man of empathy.
I’m one of those who left the country in which i was hustling to put food on the table for my family and returned home because of dv2020, my visa expire today, my wife which was working in the hospital resigned and now we’re both unemployed, it’s pathetic but one thing I know is that, life is like a textbook, some chapters are difficult and some are easy and enjoyable, I choose not to use the word quote “why life is so unfair here” because Big brother Brits who’s doing priceless services to us motivate and inspired and instill a spirit of faith and positive thinking on our minds and I therefore say that life can only stop when we stop breathing, brothers and sisters there’s hope on the horizon cheers ?????
I see you being a congressman in California, emotional intelligence people like you need to take leadership position in this world to safe humanity from greedy, arrogant and moral bankrupt individuals,God bless you and America Amen ??

Hi I went to buy a flight ticket and they told me that my visa is not allowed to enter the USA now I checked with the DOS the said if the visa is expired or about to expire to contact the Embassy where it was issued? Those that mean we cannot enter until after December 31?
