Would have love to have known about this before the meeting took place. Where did you know about it? is there a recording of it? are there any more of these zoom meetings scheduled in the near future?

I saw it on Twitter right as it was starting and I jumped in on it, I think it was recorded though. they are trying to get it certified as a class-action thingy so we all can benefit from the outcome

It seems like CP is on progress, the document from travel state shows 2021 Oct has already issued several DV visa out of the United States.

I have no idea why I can not use the hyperlink function, please copy the link and paste to the browser by yourself and check it out.

Probably because of a National Interest Exception as there's only 4?

are you sure it's a CP process and not a AOS process

They also mentioned these lawsuits might help Biden get rid of these bans as it will allow them to do so without getting in a lot of political mud .

I don’t understand this sentence. Why would Biden face any political “mud” overturning the bans? All he needs to do is reverse the entire EO, he’s already said he plans to do that with a bunch of Trump EOs including immigration ones.

Yes, look at the title of the document, it’s issuance by post. It is more than 4 but still very few (on a quick skim I counted 17 (including derivatives), I may have missed one or two). I would assume they are selectees who fall under the exceptions given the very low number of issuances.

I am not quite sure, I think they were referring to the Schengen ban for the most part with this one. Just that, in general, the lawsuits would help the new administration get rid of them in a more easy way?
Biden has mentioned the muslin ban and DACA but no word on this ban or Schengen, that's what I am concerned about mostly. If at least the visas could be issued even if we have to go to like Canada to quarantine, that would be perfect.

DV1 only 4 in that document, the rest are derivatives

No, Budapest alone had 5 DV1. Anyway whatever you want to get specific over numbers, it doesn’t make a difference if it’s 4, 24 or even 40. It is clearly something particular to a handful of cases.

Yes, so like I raid it could be a NIE right?

According to the lawyers in this suit, he has said he will rescind the "muslin" ban, but he hasn't said anything about the "unemployment" ban (sorry I don't know the EO numbers). That's probably at least in part because it's set to expire before he takes office. But the lawyers think that Trump will extend it, and their thinking is that the new administration will then prefer to let the court overturn it rather than face questions about the impact it has on US workers. You never know though - maybe the opposite will happen and Biden will see it as something he can take credit for.

Yeah, that doesn’t sound right to me at all. Biden has said that family reunification via immigration is a top priority, and the “employment” ban EO (there are more than one) that includes DV mostly actually affects family based visas. I guess the lawyers want people to pay their $$ before they see what Biden will actually do. Is it as urgent as the Muslim ban and limits on asylum? Probably not, maybe it won’t happen on day 1, but I can’t see the new administration waiting to be taken to court to overturn an EO that prevents literally hundreds of thousands of family members a year immigrating (I did the calculations at the time, I think it affected something like 600k or more family based visas annually), along with 50k or so DV chucked in.

You may be right. To be fair to the team though, the deadline for signing up/refunds was long before the election, and they're not taking new plaintiffs now, so they are not making any money from taking this position. It's probably fair to say that they're biased regarding the importance of their case, but this was only a minor point that was mentioned briefly.
 
Bonjour je suis gagnant de la DV2021, mon CN est AF2xxxx. J'ai soumis mon DS260 depuis Juin 2020 mais jai toujours pas reçu de mail de kCC et dans les forums je vois les gens parlés d'envois de documents je suis complètement perdu. Cest quels documents qu'on doit envoyer et est ce normal que je n'ai reçu de mail pour l'instant si cest normal, à quel moment alors pourrais je recevoir un mail du kcc et les interviews ont elles déjà commencées ?

Oh, I didn’t realize they had already begun a 2021 case that far back, ok.
Is it like the original Morrison one in that you pay a second installment when you get a visa regardless whether that is directly as a result of the case or not? Or is it just an upfront payment?

It was a one-time payment up front. They're also applying to certify it as a class action.
