Nationality-Based Adjudication Delays

Join Our Lawsuit Challenging DHS's Refusal to Adjudicate Petitions and Applications Purely Based on Country of Nationality

The White House, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of State have instituted a complete ban on processing immigration petitions and applications purely based on country of nationality. We think this is unlawful. 

Ariela Lake Law & Consulting, Colombo Hurd, Green and Speigel, and Khanbabai Law have teamed up to challenge this policy and the adjudication delays.    

We are looking for people who are citizens of one of these 39 countries targeted by the government’s policy and have an immigration application or petition pending with USCIS. Relevant applications include Change of Status, Extension of Status, EADs for OPTs, and pending family or employment based I-485s. 

Countries designated for this policy include: Afghanistan, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burma, Burundi, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Cuba, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Gabon, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, The Gambia, Togo, Tonga, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and individuals holding Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents.
