Iranian Student Visa Litigation – Plaintiff Onboarding

🛑 Deadline to join Iranian Student Visa Litigation is October 20th, 2025

In this lawsuit we will represent any individual who is an Iranian citizen with an I-20, M-20, or DS-2019, who has applied for a visa, or needs to apply for a visa to enter the US, or who has a valid visa and cannot enter the US. We are seeking to force the government to issue visas for each of the Plaintiffs, schedule appointments, and allow entry.

On June 9, a new travel ban was put into effect impacting the majority of Iranians seeking to travel to the United States.  The Department of State who issues visas has stopped processing student related visas (F-1, J-1, M-1) applications.  Our legal team has successfully sued the Department of State’s application of travel bans previously and believe we can successfully prove the June 9 ban does not restrict the processing or issuance of F-1, J-1, and M-1 visas to Iranian nationals.

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. This 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 $2450.00 per applicant to participate in the case. The fee is a one-time charge, and we will not be billing for additional expenses or legal fees. 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.
