GreenCardGuys Law Group, in collaboration with Red Eagle Firm and Law Office of Jessica Arena, are jointly offering a class action group lawsuit that is an opportunity for citizens of the 39 countries listed in Presidential Proclamations 10949 and 10998 to challenge the \u201chold\u201d on the adjudication of USCIS benefits caused by the December 2, 2025 USCIS Policy Memorandum, PM-602-0192<\/a>,\u202f<\/u>and\u202fJanuary 1, 2026 Policy Memorandum, PM-602-0194<\/a>.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
In sum, we believe the blanket withholding of USCIS adjudications is unlawful because it is based upon the national origin of the applicants or petitioners, and because USCIS lacks the legal authority to do such a blanket suspension, and because the blanket suspension violates the Administrative Procedures Act.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
In fact, multiple courts have already issued injunctions enjoining the holds, including: Varniab v Edlow (NDCA), Bowser v. Edlow (Mass.), Doe v. Trump (Mass.), Doe v. USCIS (NDIL), Behdin v Edlow (NDCA), Karimi v. Mullin (WD Arkansas), Abdulraheemzai v Noem (NDCA), and Saghafi v Edlow (Maryland).\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
We will be filing this group lawsuit in a U.S. District Court to be determined by your attorneys with the goal of maximizing a successful outcome, mitigating potential issues with venue and joinder, based on factors like where the applications of named plaintiffs are being processed, where the plaintiffs are domiciled, and the latest outcomes related to the 30+ lawsuits already pending challenging the holds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>
A small subset of plaintiffs will be selected as class representatives, and as such,<\/u>\u00a0featured in the motion for class certification alongside declarations explaining why they will make appropriate class representatives.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
