Siskind Susser is currently co-counseling in a number of mass immigration litigation matters. If you are a potential client in one of those cases and are looking to participate as a named plaintiff, please follow the instructions linked below.
Did you miss the deadline for onboarding? Sometimes we have the opportunity to add plaintiffs after a case is filed. To be added to a waiting list for one of our cases, sign up here.
Our current cases include:
- DV-2022 Delays: Currently Adding Plaintiffs – This case challenges the State Department’s failure to move DV-2022 cases in a timely manner and force the agency to adjudicate cases after the 9/30/2021 deadline if they are unable to get the job done in a timely manner.
- Fee Refunds: This case is seeking refunds of overcharges on all MRV fees paid by nonimmigrant visa applicants since January 1, 2016 and also seeking fee refunds for people who paid nonimmigrant and immigrant visa fees as well as SEVIS fees and didn’t get visa appointments because of a travel ban (Muslim, NIV, IV or Covid) or were denied a visa because of a travel ban.
