It's not that I have been avoiding VJ, but I have been feeling so bad that IL's have not been forthcoming since May, and I understand how hard it is just hoping everyday that they will arrive.  I also

Didn't have to call! IL arrived at 3:36 am, interview June 29th, at 7:30.  Hope there are many more to follow!

I think, IR/CR wait times will be reduced to a matter of hours, kinda like a drive thru... EB applicants, however, will continue telling tales of patience and how their journey was to Mordor... s

Our lawyer is working on the Mandamus route now.  I am trying to confirm if this will be for a group of us or if it's an individual thing.  She said to give her a few days.

This will probably be petitioned by individuals, but doesn't mean we can't all use the same law firm to do this at the same time. Once you know more, please share!

Thanks!

Thanks for the update! Spoke to Goldstein over the weekend and they’re willing to file individual too (cannot do group despite it looking like similar cases, they said). Sharing this if anyone, especially NIW self petitioned folks, are interested. I’m unable to proceed since I’ll have to get the green light from my employer and employer’s law firm

Okay, the Mandamus is going to be for the group.  Anyone interested in the Mandamus route, please DM me the following ASAP:

 

1. Name

2.  Which state you are moving to

3.  Type of Immigrant Visa

4.  DQ Date

5.  Field of employment

6.  Confirm Montreal is Consulate

7.  E-mail address

 

The lawyer is Sarah S. Rama.  She is based out of Florida.  Sounds like this is going to be pro bono.  She is working on her pleadings and will work on additional facts as we go.  She will be filing in each districts court that each of us are moving to.

Does this affect if we have our own lawyer?

 I am interested but I have my own lawyer so want to know how does that affect?

I am unsure, I will find out or maybe run this by your lawyer for their thoughts.  I have two lawyers as the one only files I-140s.  Both know each other well though.  All I did was complete form G-28 to add Ms. Rama as legal representation on my file.  The lawyer that filed the I-140 is still receiving the 60 day notices from NVC.

Thanks! This is such a great news!

 

Would you be able to confirm with Sarah for cases that are employer-sponsored EB category, will they need the employer's approval to file cases on their behalf?  Also, if a court delivers judgment on the NIW EB cases, would it get limited to NIW cases, or could it be general enough for all EB categories? Perhaps, it's too early to tell but trying to understand if court judgment would be limited to individual cases since it's been filed individually and not as a group class action lawsuit.

For those of us that are for sure in for the legal action, we should do a private WhatsApp group, at some point we are gonna run into privacy/confidentiality/privileged communication issues on a public forum. 

I have created a WhatsApp group on my phone. Please send me your phone number via Private Message, I can add you to the group.

I'd say let's wait until each one of us had signed the retainer agreement/G-28 so that the WhatsApp group only has people that are actually doing this, so there is no concern of piercing the privilege.

Did she say if there was a cutoff for DQ dates?
