CASE PROSPECTUS:

We are offering a litigation opportunity for citizens of 39 countries listed in Presidential Proclamation 10949, Restricting the Entry of Foreign Nationals To Protect the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats (PP 10949), and (PP 10998) to challenge the “hold” on the processing and adjudication of their Form N-400, Application for Naturalization (N-400 Application) that was implemented via the  December 2, 2025 USCIS Policy Memo, PM-602-0192, and January 1, 2026 Policy Memorandum, PM-602-0194.

In sum, we believe the blanket withholding of USCIS processing and adjudications of N-400 Applications is unlawful because it is based upon the national origin of the applicants, and because USCIS lacks the legal authority to do such a blanket suspension. 

We will be filing one group lawsuits one U.S. District Court, (pursuant to attorney’s decisions on the best legal strategy to accommodate potential issues with venue and joinder, with factors being where the N-400 Applications are being processed, and where the plaintiffs are domiciled). 

Important Dates 

Deadline to participate: January 21, 2026  

Filing date for complaint: January 28, 2026 

To participate in this group lawsuit project, a N-400 Applicant must meet the following three requirements:

(1) The applicant must have an N-400 Application pending (with I-797 notice to prove it); 

(2) The applicant must be a national of a country impacted by President Trump’s June 4, 2025 travel ban, called Restricting The Entry Of Foreign Nationals To Protect The United States From Foreign Terrorists And Other National Security And Public Safety Threats; or his December 15, 2025 travel ban, Restricting and Limiting the Entry of Foreign Nationals to Protect the Security Of the United States  

(3) The applicant cannot be a plaintiff in any other active unreasonable delay/mandamus lawsuits challenging delays related to the N-400 adjudication. 

Cost to Participate 

The attorney fee to participate as plaintiffs in the lawsuit will be $3,000 for each N-400 Applicant. This fee includes the cost of participation of all immediate family members who also have N-400 pending, regardless of family size. 

The terms for payment are as follows: the initial attorney fee of $1,000 is due in advance of the representation, and the $2,000 balance is deferred until and due on April 1, 2026.  

Note: the $2,000 backend payment is only deferred as a courtesy for the victims of the unpredicted hardship caused by the USCIS policy. Participants who are not comfortable with this contingency are welcome to pre-pay the entire $3,000 attorney fees.
