The American Immigration Lawyers Foundation (AILF) is preparing a lawsuit in federal district court against the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the U.S. Department of State (DOS) for:

(1)                USCIS’ rejection of otherwise properly filed adjustment of status applications for the alleged reason that a visa was not available, even though at the time of filing the Visa Bulletin from the Department of State (DOS) stated that a visa was available; and

(2)                DOS’ failure to follow its prescribed and customary practice to issue a monthly Visa Bulletin; and

(3)                USCIS’ rejection of other properly filed adjustment of status application based on DOS’ revised “Visa Bulletin” for July 2007.

Information regarding the class action lawsuit can be found on the attachment - AILF’s FAQs.  If you have further questions, please contact AILF directly at visabulletin@ailf.org
