December 2- Lawsuit

LAWSUIT AGAINST THE USCIS BASED ON THE

DECEMBER 2, 2025

POLICY MEMO

You May Qualify to Join a Federal Group Lawsuit

 

Across the United States, immigrants and international students from 19 countries are experiencing prolonged and unjustified delays by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) based on its December 2, 2025 memo.  These delays leave applicants in legal limbo—unable to work, travel, or complete their immigration process—despite having properly filed applications and paid all required government fees.

 

We believe the December 2, 2025 Memo is in violation of many rules and regulations of the United States. 

 

Kameli Law, an immigration law firm with nearly 30 years of experience, including federal litigation, is preparing group lawsuits not a class action lawsuit on behalf of individuals harmed by the said Memo. 

 

We are hoping to file multiple lawsuits in different jurisdictions seeking the recission or invalidation of the Memo for named plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
