DV-AOS 2026 Mandamus Litigation – Plaintiff Onboarding Open

🛑 Deadline to join this lawsuit is April 15, 2026

The IMMpact Litigation team is onboarding for a lawsuit to demand processing of Diversity Visa Adjustment of Status (I-485) applications pending with USCIS.

We hope to assist DV-2026 selectees who have pending I-485 applications based on their DV selections. This will include individuals in the following situations:

• I-485 Applications already pending with USCIS based on the applicant’s Diversity Visa selection.

Like our previous DV mandamus lawsuits, we will be asking a federal judge to order USCIS to adjudicate plaintiffs’ I-485 applications within a reasonable period, and no later than the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2026).

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.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THE LAWSUIT, PLEASE DO ALL THE FOLLOWING:

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 $800.00 per family to participate in the case. The fee is a one-time charge, and we will not be charging additional expenses or legal fees unless a particular plaintiff requested an individualized consultation with one of the firms’ attorneys. 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.
