Hey Simon, hope you’re doing well.
I had my interview in Guangzhou on May 11. The interview itself went smoothly, but unfortunately my case was placed into administrative processing because of the pause
Now I’m honestly very confused and would really appreciate your advice.
I missed the first round of lawsuits, but as I understand it, both Red Eagle and IMPACT are now preparing second lawsuits, and I still have the option to join one of them. At the same time, I’m also considering filing an individual mandamus lawsuit.
With the latest news coming out today, I’m quite confused about which option is the most effective right now. What would you suggest in my situation? Should I wait for the group lawsuits or go individual?
I would truly appreciate your advice. Thank you so much for everything you do for the DV community.

A group lawsuit would be worthwhile. Individual lawsuits can be very expensive.
