DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

@Britsimon Hi, I know that you usually advise about DV cases. Apologies if this is out of your league. I would like to join the lawsuit, but I have also applied for I 130 waiting for approval from USCIS. Do you think signing up for the lawsuit might negatively affect my I 130 approval? Thank you.

No impact.

Don't misunderstand what happened in 2020. KCC were not the ones that were able to create the huge boost as you call it. The vast majority of issuances in the final weeks of September were from cases that had been scheduled in March, April and May (and then cancelled). KCC did not make that happen, the embassies did. And they were operating at full capacity, without a stated prioritization that puts DVs at the bottom of a list for already reduced interview slots.

I love that people try to stay positive, but there should be no doubt in our minds that DV2021 is in serious trouble. I recommend people consider the remaining lawsuits now, because there is a chance that named plaintiffs could be prioritized over people not on lawsuits. Don't assume we can get visas preserved as happened in DV2020, especially since those preserved visas have not been allowed to be issued.

And to remind people Curtis has made the cost low, and created a no upfront fee for AF region residents, and several other countries.

Here is the link for more info on that lawsuit. No lawsuit is guaranteed to win, but the alternative is looking increasingly bleak.

Well Simon, It is actually similar to 2020. As you may know more than 10k cases and more than 15k people are ready to schedule right now. I wasn't talking about kcc because kcc has done it's job pretty well so far. So as soon as a relief given to DV cases embassies can schedule cases pretty well and considering they start processing other visas unlike 2020 that all the Interviews were stopped and corona was strong.
In my opinion in case of changing the priority of DV cases we see a great volume of Interviews.

Imo, big assumption that a judge can tell DoS who they should and shouldn’t be prioritizing in the midst of a huge backlog. Very different argument to the DV2020 case.

Ummm, no. It's not at all similar to 2020 - I don't see why you think it is, if you read my earlier comments.

State department is standing by its prioritization, and there is a massive backlog of non DV cases, most of which are higher priority to DV. The only way that will change is if a Judge orders a change (which will happen too late to make a big difference). KCC, not the embassies schedule the appointments, and of course, that assumes that the embassies even have the staff to handle the sudden volume, which in many cases, they don't.

Can a sponsor redact or show only last four digits of their SSN on both form i-134 and 1040 tax return transcripts before emailing them to DV selectees to submit during their interview?

Sponsor is required to provide the complete 9 digits of the SSN on the I-134, that is why the government provided 9 sectioned-out fields for the SSN. They may redact and leave only the last 4 digits on the 1040 if they like.

I see that SSNs are highly sensitive information and most friends won't be willing to disclose it.

Of course if I had family members in US, then it would be okay but there is none.

Should I go ahead with redacted forms?
I mean he is willing to provide all information except SSN.

And his 1040 is already redacted too.

I can't tell you yes or no, that's your call. You can present what you have, they will let you know when you go for your interview if it is acceptable or not.
 
My husband submitted the application to the Morrison law suit while I filled up most of the lawyer’s forms on his behalf. They collect a lot of personal information which I felt a bit uncomfortable to share.

There was a part where you kinda answer a set of questions how this delay has caused you hardship. For example, they asked about the conditions of my country of residence (Canada in my case, was a bit ashamed to write down the weather as an excuse, so I added higher taxes and lack of private health care lol) I think the judge who is going to read my declaration is going to send this lawsuit directly to the paper shredder.

BTW both my spouse and my husband are selectees. I sent a question to Morrison if we need to have separate double suit in our situation. I got a copy-pasted reference to their website without them answering my specific question (they could just say - yes we are greedy so go ahead and pay us more, but they didn’t even bother). I got the same vibe as like communicating with KCC (no one reads at the other side). Somewhere it stated not to connect with them to ask questions as it slows them down. I kinda rubbed my eyes to read it again - was too late (after credit card had been charged).

The whole thing feels so unpromising that I think that we may have just through away $500. Has that law office showed any past success that you aware of?

Of course they are legitimate and professional lawyers.
As of my personal preference, I like ImmPact team more and I am already on their lawsuit.
And as I said before, given current circumstances, these lawsuits are our only chance to get any kind of positive outcome this year.
So, no I don’t think you wasted $500 at all.

unfortunately you don't have a lot of choice , with Montreal consulate ignoring DV , one of the 33 that didn't accept single case , while it is one of the lowest number of DV winners . As Fyi , We have WhatsApp Group for 2021 winners in Canada .

They are just asking this to see if they can use the personal stories of some of the plaintiffs. 4,000+ plaintiffs on that lawsuit, of course they won’t be using all the stories.... and if you didn’t suffer any hardship that’s fine. You can simply say that you haven’t. Mentioning the bad weather is not a hardship. Higher taxes and private healthcare either....

What do you mean by both my spouse and my husband? You have 2 husbands?

Why did you sign up in the first place if you don’t trust them? And you didn’t check who they are? Are you saying that you signed up for the sake of signing up?

What do you mean by “collect a lot of personal of information”

I am participating in the lawsuit too, and as I saw the information that we shared is normal, such as name, cn number, adress, phone number, info related to your DV.

And about your country conditions or other questions you feel free to write our you simply leave blank or ignore.

I'm from Mongolia. I asked why do they need them. And they said same thing as you said. /high school certificate is what qualifies you for DV/ And then there were few winners faked their high school certificate due to lost their certificate or their high schools are long closed and their records have been wiped out of existence. So that's why they told me to bring high school graduation photo. You know just 3rd world country thing.
