Group lawsuit interest: dual nationals affected by USCIS adjudication hold

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to see if there are others here in a similar situation regarding the current USCIS adjudication hold affecting applicants born in one of the infamous 39 countries.

I was born in one of these countries but also hold EU citizenship. I currently have a pending I-140 petition (EB2-NIW) filed from outside the U.S. with consular processing. My child is included as a derivative beneficiary and will turn 21 within the next year, which puts their eligibility at risk if my case continues to be delayed.

I’ve already upgraded to premium processing, but due to the adjudication hold, no final decision can be made at this time.

I’ve been in contact with a representative from Red Eagle law here, and they said they would consider organizing a group lawsuit specifically for dual nationals in this situation. However, they would need a group of at least 10–20 people to move forward.

If you are in a similar position (dual nationality, affected by the adjudication hold, with time-sensitive circumstances such as aging-out dependents), please reply here or send me a DM so we can connect and explore this option together.
