Hi everyone, I am new here. What I am about to post might have already been discussed, but I couldn't find it here, so sorry if you saw this before.
My wife got her green card through the DV lottery. I thought I would get it shortly myself. Turned out that the FBI was not able to "clear me" (or at least that's what I was told), in time and they ran out of visas. They told me I should receive an information notice, that my status is no longer legal, but nothing came since. We filed a petition to reunite with my spouse, but as it looks that is going to take a few years until answered. I was wondering if there is anyone here in the same shoes, if there is any chance for a class action start? Or if anybody has any ideas about a situation like this. According to some lawyers many others ran into this barrier last year, since the clearance takes so long after 9/11, even if your records are totally clean.
Appreciate any reply, thanx in advance.
