Good to hear that.There were reports of issued visas in Algeria , very recent so probably didn't travel yet but nothing should stop them at that point . The situation is really embassy specific now . Some started working right away , some have scheduled interview , some are dragging but said they will work on DV , some are dragging and not saying when they will start and some are refusing to work on DV cases
An embassy in Tokyo seems to have started working on a DV program as well.
Despite the situation we are under I'll keep my fingers crossed for everyone.
Hello everyone. My CN is EU28***. I am a student in the U.S. with F1 visa and been waiting to see how things develop to submit my DS260.
1. When is it too late to submit DS260 for CP? Is mid-April OK or I should submit now?
2. If I submit DS260 (without sending documents to KCC) and leave the U.S., how long should I wait before I can reenter U.S. with my F1 visa?

1. The typical answer would be ‘NO’. But considering how slow KCC has been processing cases this year, I think ASAP is wiser.
2. There’s really no answer to this. Why are you leaving the US only to enter again? Can’t you go the AOS route?

Hello,my name is Marko Grujić from Serbia.Please,i would like to join new lawsuit but reading posts here make me very confused,because someone say that by initial paperwork you mean ds260 + supporting documents,and someone else say only ds260.I dont have documents with me and in order to obtain police sertificate i need to wait 5 or more days for the police to issue it.Then,the deadline will pass and i need to pay more.In Jacob Curtis said if i remember good only ds260,is it the same here?If i need documents,do i need to send them first to the KCC and then to the lawyers.It make no sense that they demand to send them documents if i am high case number and KCC has not demanded documents from me.It is only logical to have submitted ds260.

I think @Britsimon touched on this above (i.e. a complete DS-260 is fine). Not really sure what the requirement/s of the lawsuits are. But I think it’s probably better to get a clear answer from the actual lawyers, if possible.

Are you trying to decide between AOS and CP by asking these questions, or are you genuinely looking to leave the US for a bit, come back and then leave again to go do CP? What course are you studying that “how long should I wait” is even an option, or is everything online?

Hi, I am 2021EU33XXX. DS260 and Documents are already sent. Could participating in the new lawsuit harm us somehow, cause problem at KCC or at the Ambassy during interview?
Do you advise us to join the lawsuit because our country is not in the schengen area. Thx in advance.

Hello everyone,
I have a similar question to what was posted above. I am DV21 EU29XXX. DS260 sent as well as documents (still no confirmation from KCC that documents are all fine though). My country is not part of the Schengen area and not subject to the "Schengen ban". I am thinking about joining the new lawsuit.
Given that my case is quite high and my country is not banned, would you recommend participating in the lawsuit? Will this harm me in any way during the interview?
Thank you in advance, everyone.

For those asking if joining in some lawsuit could potentially hurt their chances, as in maybe KCC or the embassy initiating a retaliatory move, the answer is "NO". You cannot be penalized for being a named plaintiff, it is your right should you choose to go that route. You however need to be aware of the fact that being a named plaintiff does not mean you will automatically benefit from whatever relieve is granted as a result of the lawsuit if your CN is high and does not become current.
Thank you for the response. I have an F1 visa for another 4 years and my classes are all in person.
I was initially planning for AOS but now that CP seems to work fine in my country I am planning to go home over the summer to do CP and return home after that.
My number (EU28***) will likely become current in July or not at all. I need to decide to fill DS260 now, in mid-April (when June VB is available) or mid-May (when July VB is available). Ideally, I would fill DS260 now, but I am afraid that would ban me from visiting my relatives for the next few years in case the number does not become current.
My rephrased question would be: if I fill DS260 now and my CN does not become current by September can I ever travel to my country and return on an F-1 visa?
Thank you Mom for the answer. I understand that if my case does not become current on the visa bulletin then there is nothing lawyers can do. However, considering my case is EU29XXX and I am not from Schengen's banned country, would you recommend me to participate in the lawsuit? Britsimon in his last video did mention that it will be wise to take part in this lawsuit.
Thank you in advance
From that lawyer’s website the deadline was also March 23rd so regardless of all the pre conditions (area, current and date) I don’t see how this lawsuit can help but I’m not expert in such matters.
The deadline is until 5th April. You might be talking about another lawsuit?

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend for anyone to join or not join any lawsuit. This is a personal call you guys will have to make on your own based on what you know.
Understood thank you. Can I ask you two more questions, please?
1) So this lawsuit will help "only the people who are current according to the visa bulletin to get their cases prioritized for processing". Is this the idea of the lawsuit? Did I understand this correctly?
2) If the case is won let's say by June and I am still not current, will it still affect my case to be prioritized if I get current after the case is won let's say in August? (Ex: I become current in August but the case is won earlier in June)
Apologies for the confusing questions, I am just trying the understand the lawsuit properly before I join it. Thank you in advance.

I’m sorry I can’t provide further guidance on the lawsuit(s) outside of what I already posted.
hahahaha, good oneAny chance you played for Liverpool?
@MarkoGrujić if you go to your local Police station, and ask them nicely, tell them about the dates, they will issue the certificate the same day.
