DV 2021 ALL SELECTEES

[PhantomHigh]

What are the differences between Curtis Morrison lawsuit and Siskind Susser lawsuit?

Both are mandamus lawsuits for DV21 so there is no big difference between them.

Siskind lawsuit is called Goh v. Blinken
Curtis lawsuit is called Goodluck v. Biden

Goh is filed and currently not accepting new plaintiffs. Final hearing date on 13th of July.
Goodluck is yet to be filed on June 6th and currently accepting new plaintiffs.

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.

Many, many DV winners come from developing countries and I’ve never heard that before so no not a “3rd world thing”. Interesting that Mongolia seems to have a forgery problem for this - we don’t often see feedback from Mongolia here.

Also, Curtis Morrison lawsuit asks for a $500 down deposit and if they don’t win, you won’t pay anything else. (No down deposit for some countries)

The other lawsuit asked for $1.5K to $2K (depending on when you signed up).

The only suit you can join is the Curtis Morrison one and it closes on May 31.

Has your embassy already had 2NLs for the month of July? Did they get them in June?

Hi Simon, 2021OC14xx, ready for scheduling confirmation letter on 25 March @ Sydney Consulate. Where do I check to see when embassies have sent out 2NLs? got a generic email saying wait for 2NL, took 4 weeks for them to reply

Sydney accepted some interviews on May 14 - meaning they were LATE 2NLs for June interviews. It's possible they will do the same this month.

I am from Iran and my embassy is Yerevan and it had Scheduled 6 cases per May and June and I am waiting for July 2nl. the highest case number invited is AS1400 and mine is 23XX
10 out of 12 cases are single cases like me.
Would you even recommend me to join the lawsuit?

I think they have been a little bit overwhelmed by the response. It’s closing on the 31st so expect the retainer after that. Although, I thought it was all automated, no? Unless you manually filled out the retainer? In that case I guess they would need to double check it and send it to you. You can automate the process and you then automatically get the signed retainer via a PDF.

Thank you very much for the reply. It was a bit strange - I sent them a Western Union receipt, in less than 5 min they sent an email that the whole receipt must be shown. Then I sent again and received this email.
Sorry - a retainer is a person through which I will be in contact with lawyers ? It’s my first time, I don’t know how it works.
Thank you very much and good evening.

Signed up for Curtis lawsuit. Very easy. Fingers and toes crossed.

Ohhh it was via western union! Then they probably need to double check first and it’s probably not automatic just like paying with your credit card. That’s most likely why you didn’t receive an email with the retainer. Don’t worry, I am sure they’ll do that next week!

The other lawsuit asked for $1.5K to $2K (depending on when you signed up).

This is actually not true (if you mean everyone else), you can join LARRY R. GLAZER's new lawsuit for $ 500 and at no additional cost after the interview (deadline - June 15th).

In this lawsuit i found this very interesting, wondering how this would be implemented

"Along with the complaint we will file a temporary restraining order (TRO) asking the judge for expedited extraordinary relief. This will assure that we receive a prompt decision from the court; if successful, certain procedural barriers to interviews will be lifted. For this reason we view this regulatory challenge as a companion lawsuit to litigation seeking substantive relief in the form of visa adjudication or preservation of eligibility."

Which barriers? Any ideas?

No idea.
Maybe what they mean by procedural barriers to interviews is KCC taking unreasonably way more than usual time to process the documents and schedule the interviews?

In my opinion, KCC’s poorly implemented document review process is unreliable and should be replaced by a more efficient alternative.
Maybe a website where you create an account and upload all your documents on and if there is a document that is not accepted or missing, they would actually let you know.. that would be nice.
Better than faulty and unreliable emails of KCC (check Morrison’s tweet) let alone the generic, robot-like replies that don’t tell you where exactly is your case in the process.. etc

just my thoughts

It's a vague... In a sense all DV lawsuits are trying to remove "barriers" that lead to interviews. It is not to be interpreted as - interviews will be lifted.
