Red Eagle Law, L.C.

FAQ: for REL’s class action lawsuits, is it possible that if the judge does not certify the case as a class action, they could still order the pause to be lifted and allow only the named plaintiffs' individual cases to move forward? Or is it an all-or-nothing decision, where the judge either certifies the class action or denies it without granting any relief to the individual plaintiffs? Answer: It is very possible that the judge grants only the PI but not the motion for class certification. (Which would mean only plaintiffs would benefit from the order.) It is not an “all-or-nothing” situation. -curtis

Hey there. I’m still interested in suing USCIS with a bunch of solo lawsuits over PM-601-0199 (the “administrative grace” memo). I’m surprised only a couple of you have reached out about this. Come on, it will be fun. -Curtis

For those who have registered for this group lawsuit opportunity, Jessia and I will host a Zoom Q&A on Friday where we talk impact of Dorcas developments on this forthcoming lawsuit.

Ever want to know how many cases a federal judge has that are pending for 3 years or longer? How about how many motions are pending for more than 6 months? (One EDCA judge has 188! 🫣) https://www.uscourts.gov/data-news/reports/statistical-reports/civil-justice-reform-act-report/march-2026-civil-justice-reform-act -curtis🦅

USCIS plans to implement a new public charge rule beginning September 18, 2026. A nuance with this implementation: the I-485 will be revised and old versions of the form will not be accepted after September 18, 2026. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/us-citizenship-and-immigration-services-rescinds-2022-public-charge-regulation -curtis🦅

📢PM-602-0199 litigation opportunity: Let's say you have a pending I-485, and claims pending in a group lawsuit challenging PM-602-0192/4 and unreasonable delays, and that you don't want to dismiss claims in that lawsuit. Yet, you want to file an individual lawsuit. Is it possible? The rule is you cannot have overlapping claims in 2 lawsuits. But there is a way to file a new lawsuit. File a new lawsuit challenging PM-602-0199 (Adjustment of Status is a Matter of Discretion and Administrative Grace) as arbitrary and capricious under the APA. The theory behind this untested legal strategy would be that USCIS would adjudicate your I-485 to make that new lawsuit go away. Since this is a novel idea that I just had this morning and we don't have proof of concept, we would discount the price from a traditional mandamus lawsuit to only $5k. -curtis🦅

FAQ: Is there a 🦅 attorney admitted in my federal court district? Answer: Maybe - if you live in one of the districts colored in red! But also, as we grow, we will be admitted to more. And even in districts we are not admitted in, usually we can find local counsel to support us so we can still represent you. -curtis🦅

Note: Jessica and her team are onboarding this lawsuit. Do not contact me or our the REL team about it. We don’t have capacity to talk to you about it. -curtis

NEW GROUP LAWSUIT: Was your I-485 or I-765 frozen by the USCIS holds? Your fight is not over. A federal court struck down the USCIS hold memos (PM-602-0192 and PM-602-0194) in June. But the government is fighting to reinstate them, USCIS has never said whether frozen applications got their place back in line, and a new memo (PM-602-0199) now tells officers to treat adjustment of status as "extraordinary relief" to be granted only in extraordinary circumstances. Jessica Arena of JT Arena Law and I are co-counsel on a new federal group lawsuit that asks the court to: 1. Order USCIS to decide each plaintiff's I-765 within 30 days and I-485 within 60 days 2. Restore each plaintiff's application to the place in line it would have had if the hold never happened 3. Block the holds from EVER being applied to our plaintiffs again, no matter what happens with the government's appeal 4. Strike down the new "administrative grace" memo PM-602-0199 WHO CAN JOIN: Nationals of, born in, or petitioned by someone born in any of the 40 countries (including Palestine) in the travel ban proclamations, with an I-485 and/or I-765 pending at least 6 months, and not in another lawsuit about the same benefit. COST: $3,700 per family. One fee covers the principal applicant plus spouse and children with pending applications. No extra charge for family size. KEY DATES: July 21, 5:30 pm: Zoom Q&A to answer your questions July 26 (midnight): DEADLINE to join August 11: Complaint filed in federal court August 21: Preliminary injunction motion filed (I-765 applications only) Full details: https://jtarenalaw.com/mass-action-case-prospectus/ Register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbkTNnafEmoIBIq7Hw0GzDqwrEeW0PqXo-AeJPjkCy9Z2q7Q/viewform Questions or Zoom link: contact Ileana on Telegram @IleanaMairenaM or email lawsuit@jtarenalaw.com

For those who haven’t heard, we have obtained post-Dorcas injunctions in 2 NDCA group lawsuits in last week: CM663 Hedayati from Judge Dimarchi (7/7) and CM654 Shahi from Judge Davila (7/14). -curtis

Tip: Applying for I-485? See that question that asks you if you have been refused a visa application before? Since about 2010-3, the answer to that question for a INA 221(g) refusal should be “yes.” Before then, a 221(g) refusal was considered an abeyance and not considered a refusal for USCIS purposes. But they changed it. Generally, it’s not come up much, until now. We’ve heard this question was asked at 3 recent interviews. Be smart. If you answered this question or any question like this on your I-485 wrong, walk into interview with a piece of paper listing the correction and do not sit down for the interview until after giving that paper to the USCIS officer. -curtis

————- Updates for clarification: 1) This form was created by the self-formed group organizer, who prefers anonymity, and not REL or Jessica Arena. 2) I, Curtis Morrison, will be listed as co-counsel in this lawsuit and will monitor and support Jessica Arena as necessary. However, our team will not otherwise be involved. Please DO NOT send me or our team questions about this opportunity because we are not in a position, and do not have the capacity, to answer them. Thanks. Thanks🙏 - curtis
