If the folks whose lawyers are members of AILA approach AILA to get a class action lawsuit and let us know the results that would be awesome. My lawyer is not an AILA member.
I got a reply from Crystal Williams (AILA PR Director) a few weeks back that AILA will only work with its member lawyers and not with us individuals. So folks please do contact your lawyers to see if anything can be done in this front. Atleast we will know if this can be done or not if we get info. from a lawyer.
And class action suits against BCIS do happen. Here are a few threads, news items if you don’t believe me. Also you can find several more suits if you search in google.
Here are some news items and discussion threads I found
1) INS FAILURE TO PROCESS LOTTERY CASES COSTS MANY PEOPLE GREEN CARDS; LAWSUIT PLANNED

2) Class action filed against INS for family unity violations.
