Hi Jesse, how do I get in touch re advice on DV2022 AOS?
DV 2022 OC Selectees
- Thread starter Melb2021
- Start date
Not sure if he still checks this forum, but he has posted his email for enquiries a few times - jbless@wasdenbanias.com so I would guess that is probably the best place to contact him. He's extremely responsive to emails so you should be able to get in touch!
Do you have contact details as to see how we could get in touch? There might be others that are interested as well
Thanks for informing. I thought you could transfer to another country though didn't know you had to be a citizen of the other country as I was thinking would be willing to travel to Asia or the UK to sit for the interview.
Oh brilliant thanks @BrisOC22 I was searching for it but couldn't seem to find it..
I was up early (3.30 am) and watched their live YT update. From what they mentioned they are still taking on clients. It wouldn't hurt to give them an email... Yes USD 2k. I believe Jessie is also doing another case so please reach out to him.
If this was the case I think we would all be in Fiji or NZ right now getting out interviews at a much cheaper price than a lawsuit! haha. If only
Wouldnt mind a nice vacation in Fiji at a cheaper price and getting my interview on top of it, sounds lovely and less stressful than just praying Sydney decides to do something!090521@0411

IMMpact says they are still on-boarding, Curtis Morrison saysIf this was the case I think we would all be in Fiji or NZ right now getting out interviews at a much cheaper price than a lawsuit! haha. If only
he will be filing a lawsuit for DV 2022 selectees in a month or two, and you can even file your own lawsuit representing yourself for just a $402USD filing fee, and the Court has to excuse any technical errors you make in your complaint because you are not a lawyer.
Imagine if every non plaintiff DV 2022 selectee individually filed a lawsuit in the same US District Court self represented, and clogged up the Court. I wonder if all of a sudden interviews would become available. There is a wealth of information on this forum and elsewhere about what is happening with DV 2022, and it really isn't that hard to represent yourself in Court if you can read and write English and can interpret previous Court decisions. Again, there is a wealth of information available about the lawsuits for DV 2020 and DV 2021, and why the arguments DOS are using now are wrong. When you have nothing to lose other than $402USD and a once in a life time opportunity of a Green Card, starting your own lawsuit doesn't sound so stupid.

Just an FYI Jesse is not going to be doing any more DV22 cases
Thanks for informing everyone, I will wait to hear back from the Impact people. Can I ask who here is going with them, and how confident they feel with them? I wouldn't have a clue nor would have the time/energy to file my own lawsuit though nice to know that option is there
AUDV2022 is the only one that has posted here saying they've joined Impact, everyone else (that has posted at least) has gone with Jesse. So I guess @AUDV2022 is the only one that can give an opinion really
I'm very confident in Jesse's but that ship has sailed. I'm sure Impact will get some results, they just won't really have the option to settle early/take a deal when they are representing thousands rather than just 20 people.I also think (and I could be wrong) that in the previous years lawsuit one of them had like 30k people and the government agreed to reserve 10k visas meaning even some that were part of the lawsuit won't actually receive theirs. So I guess that is a potential risk (I could be wrong on this just from what I've heard).
At the end of the day a lawsuit just increases your chance, so whether you're confident or not, if you want the best chance at getting your interview then a lawsuit can only increase your odds. So I'd definitely look into Impact and if not Impact than whatever other upcoming lawsuits there are.
Thanks @BrisOC22 . Yes i think its definitely too late to go with Jesse, but yes will look into it with Impact. I was very close to signing up with Jesse's one, though due to my high CN and not really knowing how things would pan out with the CN's thought it was too much of a risk though looks like the way its going it might go CURRENT by about June/JulyAUDV2022 is the only one that has posted here saying they've joined Impact, everyone else (that has posted at least) has gone with Jesse.

The U.S. District Court has on its web site the instructions on how to be a self represented plaintiff, and the forms you must use. If anyone is considering this I would recommend you try and see if others are interested, brain storm in a group, and file the exact same complaint individually. If the Court were to join all the self represented plaintiffs into a group, that would be better, and pick the person in the group with the best public speaking skills/experience as the person who addresses the Court.
Of course you would need to find out if an Australian plaintiff can file a lawsuit in a U.S. District Court from outside of the U.S. electronically, or if it has to be physically filed (and served) you would need to hire someone in the U.S. to do this, and this can be any responsible person who is NOT a lawyer. If you have a friend in the U.S. who could do it, that would be cheaper. You would also need to ascertain if you can attend Court hearings remotely.
From what I have seen in this thread there is plenty of you who appear to have grasped the concept of what is happening and able to interpret the data. There is plenty of CEAC data available now (as opposed to several years ago) and an educated group using information from this forum, the CEAC data and the information in Simon’s videos should be able to collectively prepare a reasonable complaint for a Court to consider. For example, the experts say the COVID argument DOS used in DV 2020/21 lawsuits can now be negated by the fact DOS has issued as many (if not more) non DV IVs this fiscal year than they did pre COVID. If that can be proved with CEAC data, how easy is it for that to be put into a complaint. If DOS have reassigned DV cases to other DOS posts outside of a country that has closed DOS posts, that can be confirmed with FIOA requests or reaching out to the lawyers to confirm. Again, once you have the evidence how hard is it to put that into writing into a complaint. Why should it make any difference if a DOS post is closed due to a war, or due to moving to new premises? Closed is closed, and unlike other IVs, DV has a time limit.
It really isn’t that hard to represent yourself IF you know what you are doing, can read write and speak English, and probably most importantly, have confidence. I really do believe a collective group could brain storm and collectively compose a reasonable complaint.
I would however not recommend being a self represented plaintiff if you do not have a clue what you are doing, as DOS could use their win against you as a precedent to attack other DV lawsuits that do have legal representation.

Appreciate what you're saying, though its alot of work mate, something that I and most people don't have the time for. I will look into it with Impact if there's any other law firms that people are aware of that are accepting people let us all know. Would prefer to pay money and go wiith a firm who know what their doing even though there's no guarantee.

Ive only mentioned it for DV selectees who may not be able to afford joining a lawsuit.
Remember, the unwritten rule to avoid being denied a DV on the basis you could be a public charge is having 10k (USD not AU) in your bank account per person on your DV case.
Imagine your the only one on your DV case, you have 10k in the bank and now some lawyer wants 4.2k from you so you can join a lawsuit. You join, pay the lawyer (most if not all request payment up front) you get an interview, CO asks for copy of your bank statement, and you now have less than 10k in the bank - DV refused on the basis you "may" become a public charge, and there is no appeal
I can afford to join all 3 lawsuits if it were allowed, but if I couldn't afford to join any and by June I had not been interviewed, my attitude would not be "it's not something I have time for" if I really wanted a GC, and I would file my own lawsuit, even if it were to request a visa be reserved for me pending outcomes of the other lawsuits. Remember DV 2021 selectees missed out last year and have no legal recourse solely because they were not on any lawsuit, and a lawsuit filed by You is a lawsuit and could be a $402USD investment on the possibility of a visa being reserved for you.
Curtis Morrison has announced he will be filing a DV 2022 lawsuit, he has also now publically stated on YouTube President Biden is anti immigration, his words not mine, and he is a BS recommended lawyer.

Public Charge. Give me a break. When was the last time a Sydney selectee was denied on Public Charge during CO interview because they wasted their meagre life savings on a "BS" lawyer!? This is laughable.
Stop making assumptions on other people's situations.
Sounds like you have it all figured out how you are going to single handedly beat the United States. All i'm seeing is fanatical, unsought advice.
Enough with the constant nonsense oh wise one.
Hi @BrisOC22 - Impact only have around 50 on the law suit around the world, so I am hoping those numbers help too. The law suit was made in DC with case Bou Jabbour. v. BlinkenAUDV2022 is the only one that has posted here saying they've joined Impact, everyone else (that has posted at least) has gone with Jesse. So I guess @AUDV2022 is the only one that can give an opinion really

Hi Everyone,
We are patiently in a holding pattern waiting for the Sydney Embassy to open so that we can have our Visa interview. As some of you already know my husband is a pilot. The USA currently has a massive pilot shortage unlike Australia where pilots are still on leave without pay due to Covid. In the last few weeks, a number of the US airlines have opened up not only to E3Rs but now E3 visas. No airline is interested in talking to my husband as he does not have the right to work in the USA until he gets a visa. Yet he can't apply for an E3 as we have the Green card in progress. So the continued closure of the Sydney embassy means many of my husband's colleagues are now moving to the USA after getting and Emergency E3 visa and gaining employment whilst we are still stuck in limbo land. Hubby is now concerned with the continued closure of the Sydney embassy this may affect his ability to find work as so many aussies are heading over to the states now on E3 visas.
Hubby is considering heading over to the states for 14 days, with a return ticket booked, with a house still in Australia, a full time general aviation job (low paying nonRPT, non jet job) to study on an M1 - student visa, to gain additional qualifications including an FAA pilot licence and an A320 conversion course. I am concerned that this will be seen as dual intent and may affect our green-card visa (i am the principal applicant not him).
Can anyone clarify/confirm if he is able to head to the states for 2 weeks only to do these courses under an M1 student visa whilst we continue to wait for our Greencard DV interview?
CN 2022OC2** - case is ready at NVC, number is current, just waiting for Sydney to open and commence interviews for DV2022
Thanks in advance
Charli

Hey Charli,
@Britsimon might be able to shed a bit of light on this.
But if you want to go down the E3 path you can, it's just a matter of the conversation you have with the person conducting your interview that you don't have the intent of immigrating to America and that you are only pursuing a non-immigrant Visa.
