75-Country Ban Litigation – Plaintiff Onboarding Open

🛑 Deadline to join 75 Country Ban Litigation is February 4th, 2026

The Department of State has announced a suspension of processing and issuing immigrant visas from applicants from 75 countries. The lawsuit challenges this suspension.  The countries banned are: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia, Brazil, Burma, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Colombia, Congo, Cuba, Dominica, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Fiji, Gambia, Georgia, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Republic of the Congo, Russia, Rwanda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Uruguay, Uzbekistan and Yemen. 

 This ban is on immigrant visas issued by the Department of State abroad. So far USCIS has not announced a benefits ban, so eligibility for this litigation is for those with approved USCIS petitions with a pending DS-260 immigrant visa application. 

We believe that this total ban on work (after accepting payment) is a violation of several federal immigration statutes, the Administrative Procedure Act, Federal Court precedent, and the due process and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution.  

Our legal team has successfully sued the Department of State’s failure to issue diversity visas, K-1 visas, and we have sued many times to force USCIS to adjudicate cases in accordance with federal law and regulation. We believe we can successfully prove that his work stoppage is illegal.

This case is being filed by IMMpact Litigation, a joint venture of the law firms Bless Litigation in Boston, Joseph & Hall in Denver, Kuck Baxter in Atlanta and Siskind Susser in Memphis. The firms have some of the most experienced immigration lawyers in the country and have now litigated together in more than 30 mass federal cases. IMMpact received the 2022 American Immigration Lawyers Association Litigation Award and the American Bar Association’s James E. Keane Award for the innovative use of technology in managing our litigation.

Step 1: Review the FAQ to confirm that you qualify to participate and that you understand what the case is about and how the plaintiff fee works.

Step 2: Complete our engagement letter and declaration generator app. The generator app will create an engagement letter (contract) for you to review and sign and will automatically send a copy to our team and to you. It will also tell us more about your situation.

Step 3: Pay your fee here. We are charging $2600.00 per applicant to participate in the case. The fee is a one-time charge, and we will not be charging additional expenses or legal fees for the District Court part of this case. The fee is due at the outset and is non-refundable once we file the case with the Federal District Court. 

Payment Policy: We accept credit cards and eChecks only. DO NOT USE A DEBIT CARD — your payment will be voided, and you will not be added as a plaintiff. You are responsible for paying the merchant surcharge fees associated with making a payment and the surcharge fees will not be refunded under any circumstance.

Once you have completed all the above steps, you have signed up!

You’ll receive an automatic email confirmation when we’ve received your engagement letter and declaration.  This, and your payment confirmation email, means that you are in our database and will be included in our lawsuit. If any information or documents are missing, we will contact you before filing the case. Otherwise, we’ll be in touch with all plaintiffs when we have filed the lawsuit with the court.

In the meantime, please do not contact our team asking for further confirmation that we have received your materials; this slows us down when we’re doing our best to prepare our filing quickly.
