Following are some questions frequently asked by those who are considering whether to be plaintiffs in this lawsuit. We cannot promise this, of course, but we hope that the INS will adjudicate your petition or application more quickly and also begin processing other employment-based permanent resident petitions and applications more quickly as well. We also will sue to have the INS to implement some interim measures to ease the hardships of those whose employment -based permanent residence petitions and applications have been pending for too long. We need people to represent others, so that we can try to fix the problem for everyone in the same situation. Without plaintiffs such as yourself, we cannot address and fix the problem for all.
Litigation is uncertain by nature.
In other words, we cannot predict the exact outcome. AILF and our co-counsel will not charge you any attorney's fees for representing you in this lawsuit. AILF also will pay for costs and expenses associated with the lawsuit, such as filing fees, copying, long distance calls, travel expenses for AILF attorneys and staff, depositions, transcripts, etc. Should you be required to be present at a deposition, hearing or a trial, we do ask that you pay your own travel and lodging expenses, if any. Once it is filed, most of the initial work in a lawsuit will be done on paper by the lawyers.
