Group Lawsuit for Family Preference Category Visa Applicants
from 19 Countries Blocked by Trump’s Travel Ban
This lawsuit is an opportunity for families of Family Preference Category Visa Applicants to challenge the legality of Trump’s June 4, 2025 Travel ban which became effective on June 9, 2025.
We will be filing this lawsuit in a U.S. District Court to be determined by attorney.
Important Dates:
Deadline to participate: Friday, August 15, 2025, 11:59 PST
Filing date for complaint: On or About Friday, August 29, 2025
These are firm deadlines.
To participate in this lawsuit, the Family Preference Category Primary Visa Applicant (F1, F2A, F2B, F3, or F4) in the family must:
(1) have a Priority Date that is current in Chart A of the August Visa Bulletin,
(2) have completed and submitted their DS-260, and
(3) be a national of an impacted country. The impacted countries are:
Afghanistan
Burma

Republic of the Congo
Cuba
Equatorial Guinea
Eritrea
Haiti
Iran

Libya
Somalia
Sudan
Sierra Leone
Togo
Turkmenistan
Venezuela
Yemen
Important disclosures:
We are pursuing this group lawsuit because we believe in your right to a fair outcome, and we will fight hard to advocate for you. But we also want to be transparent: while we’re hopeful and committed, we cannot promise success. Litigation carries uncertainty, and court decisions are ultimately beyond our control. We ask that all participants join with hope, but also with realistic expectations about what legal action can and cannot achieve.
Additionally, it is important for participants to understand that litigation takes time. It would not be realistic to expect the lawsuit to have a positive outcome within the first few months. Very often lawsuits challenging government policies take a year or even longer to reach the stage where plaintiffs see a final outcome.
Cost to Participate:
The attorney fee to participate as plaintiffs in the lawsuit will be $1,000 for each Family Preference Category Primary Visa Applicant. This fee includes the cost of participation of all derivative beneficiaries regardless of family size.
The attorney fee is due in advance of the representation. Deferred payments, installment payments, or payment plans will not be offered with this lawsuit.

No. Only Family Preference Category Visa Applicants (F1, F2A, F2B, F3, or F4) are eligible to participate in this lawsuit.
We will be challenging the ban as unlawful under the nondelegation doctrine. We also will be challenging the implementation of the ban as unlawful, as INA §212(f) only gives the president the authority to issue an entry ban, and not a visa issuance ban.
We want the court to enjoin, or cancel, the travel ban as it is applied to our participating plaintiffs.
The deadline for joining the lawsuit is Friday, August 15, 2025, 11:59 PST (California time). That deadline is in concrete and will not be extended under any circumstances. However, please keep in mind that the earlier plaintiffs join the lawsuit, the better we can integrate our plaintiffs’ facts into our arguments, which will result in a stronger and more convincing complaint. If everyone joins at the last minute, we will have less time, to prepare the best possible complaint. Time is of the essence, and we appreciate all those who choose to participate early.
We have not decided yet. We will decide after all plaintiffs are onboarded, because only then we will know what our options are. It is possible that the litigation will be filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where we are bringing other similar challenges to the travel ban based upon visa applicants in other visa categories. It is also possible we will file the lawsuit in the court district where one or more petitioners live.
The assignment of our judge is unknown and will remain unknown until after the lawsuit is filed. Also, judge assignments may change more than once in the initial weeks of the case, before being finally assigned to a judge who will preside over the case to conclusion.
If we file the lawsuit in a court district where there is already a similar lawsuit filed, there is a good chance that our lawsuit will be assigned to the same judge as the first lawsuit.
No. Representation will not include consular processing support.
The fee for all families is the same. We only charge for the Primary Visa Applicant. We do not charge extra fee for derivative spouse or children.
No. No litigation is ever guaranteed. Plus, that is not our goal. Our goal will always be the issuance of visas to our clients.
We currently do not plan or expect to file a motion for class certification in this lawsuit. However, if the judge suggests it, or the judge is hesitant to give relief because it is not a class action lawsuit, we will revisit that issue.
No. For this opportunity, we cannot defer the initial payment for any participant.
