This year, the Biden administration is on track to issue 1/2 as many immigrant visas to Iranians as Trump did last year.

There's a bump in #RosalesvBiden but we can fix it in much less time it takes to explain it. So I'm working on fixing it now. Please do not distract me this morning. Thanks.

#RosalesvBiden #DV2021 Update: this morning Judge Mehta denied our motions for class certification and preliminary injunction without prejudice for procedural reasons that can be easily cured by refiling both motions with declarations attached.

This does not mean I need you to send me your declarations. We have some that were attached to the TRO in January, and to be safe, we have collected a few more this morning. We don't need anymore declarations from DV-2021 selectees.

Also- please don't message me about this order, as the difficulty will be cured before I get your message. I'll share more information when I have it.

#RosalesvBiden #DV2021 Update: Pursuant to remedying the problem Judge Mehta pointed out in this morning's order, we have filed a third renewed motion for class certification with declarations from proposed class members. (I didn't attach those declarations to the copy I'm sharing because they do contain some personal information).

We're still working on the renewed motion for preliminary injunction, hope to have it filed before the end of the day.
#RosalesvBiden #DV2021 Update: Can report that the Second Renewed Motion for Preliminary injunction has been filed.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Given the devastating impacts of the State Department’s unlawful “tiered approach” to immigrant visa prioritization on Green Card holders and their families, we will be filing a new mandamus lawsuit challenging that policy on September 27, 2021…
Update on upcoming F2A lawsuit:

(1) We now have videos about this case up in Albanian, Arabic, Farsi, French, Russian, and Turkish.
https://curtismorrisonlaw.com/f2a

(2) Reminder: onboarding ends Sept 20, and that is a hard deadline. In our experience, the people who wait until the last day to participate are usually the same ones who experience some trouble with onboarding process and don’t register on time. So if you’re interested, make your decision early. Thanks. 🙏
21 Sunny PI Motion + Exs (except plaintiff declarations).pdf

Update in #SunnyvBiden, the lawsuit that we filed in Eastern District of New York on behalf of 329 Green Card holders and their spouses and children challenging the State Departement's "tiered approach" prioritization scheme.

We have filed a motion for preliminary injunction. I've attached it here with the exhibits (except for plaintiff declarations).
New Green Card Holder? Today's tip: When you move from one address to another, remember to notify USCIS within 10 days of moving.

47 Goodluck Order.pdf

Update in #GoodluckvBiden. Judge Mehta has issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order. This order does 5 really good things that are itemized on the last 2 pages. More information to follow.
Fun fact- These are the 68 US embassies that have not issued a single DV-2021 visa to a #GoodluckvBiden plaintiff. After today's order from Judge Mehta, that's going to change. 😉
140.5 Rosales:Jacob Order.pdf

#RosalesvBiden (formerly Jacob v Biden) #DV2021 Update: Judge Mehta has issued this Minute Order consolidating the Rosales lawsuit with Goodluck.

To be clear, in the Goodluck order, Judge Mehta did not prioritize any named plaintiffs over DV-2021 selectees who were not named plaintiffs.
FAQ: I'm a DV-2021 selectee with a high case number. What does today's order mean for me?

Answer: While a high case number is a disadvantage (as it always was), understand that the vast majority of DV-2021 selectees face disadvantages other than a high case number. For example, thousands are assigned to embassies like Moscow, Baghdad, and Kabul, which are closed. Many will require second medical exams. Others face border closures preventing their access to travel.

Finally, we do not know whether or not Judge Mehta will reserve or carry over visas after the Sept. 30 deadline, and we will not know that until after the Sept 27 status conference!

It would be premature for any DV-2021 selectee to come to a conclusion about whether today's decision means they will be issued a visa or not.
