SEVIS TRO/Injunctive Relief Class Action Litigation for F-1 Students – Plaintiff Onboarding

CLICK HERE FOR AN IMPORTANT UPDATE ON SEVIS RECORDS AND ONGOING LITIGATION

ICE’s position is still evolving, and legal risks remain for students. As a result, we are extending our deadline to join our litigation. If you were affected by a SEVIS termination or visa revocation, you now have until MIDNIGHT (Eastern) tonight, Tuesday April 29th, to register as a plaintiff in our lawsuit. Our legal team is working quickly to revise and finalize the complaint based on the government’s latest guidance.

🛑 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, as a class, who have had their SEVIS registration revoked by ICE. ICE’s failure to follow the regulations delineating how revocations are done means thousands of students are being unnecessarily and intentionally stopped from attending school, pursuing their careers, and working for US employers.

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 ICE to immediately reinstate SEVIS and restore the lawful nonimmigrant status of our clients.  Hopefully, our lawsuit will cause ICE to follow the law as written or at least follow the Court Orders.

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. 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 $1,500.00 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. 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.

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.
