SEVIS RELATED VISA REVOCATION LITIGATION – Plaintiff Onboarding

🛑 Please note: Due to the fast-moving nature of this litigation, no refunds will be issued for any fees paid. The time-sensitive filing requires immediate legal work and coordination.

In this lawsuit we will represent individuals, who have had their F-1 visa revoked by the Department of State (DOS). We believe that DOS violated federal law in doing this as they did.  These visas were revoked by the Visa Office, not by individual consular officers.  INA 221(i)requires that the consular officer OR the Secretary of State do the revocation.  While this is not the strongest of cases, it is the only basis on which to challenge the revocation, since the revocation language in 221(i) also gives broad discretion to the consular officer.

Federal agencies must act reasonably with due regard to the necessity and convenience of the interested party, and they must follow the law. We seek an order compelling DOS to immediately undo the revocation of these visas.  Again, there is no guarantee of success in this case.

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

We are including at no charge those Plaintiffs who were part of the SEVIS Revocation lawsuit who had visas revoked, and adding additional plaintiffs who are either in or out of the US. However, you CANNOT join this suit if you have applied for a new F-1 visa and been denied.

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 3: Pay your fee here. We are charging $2,000.00 per applicant to participate in the case. The fee is a one-time charge, and we will not be billing for additional expenses and legal fees. The fee is due at the outset and is non-refundable once paid. Fees are considered earned on payment, as we will be filing the Complaint quickly once retained. 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.

IF YOU ARE A PREEXISTING PLAINTIFF, You will NOT need to pay for this litigation, so please do not pay.

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. We will also need you to upload a copy of your visa stamp and the email or letter you received notifying you of the visa revocation.  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.
