Thanks for this valuable information, but my question is how will this impact existing LULAC class members including those who have been denied. Will this be giving them another chance? I went through all of the documents on the Pacer website and they don't really indicate the specifics of the proposed settlement.

Please provide some insight if you have on this.

Kind regards.

They do address it. In the proposed settlement agreement it addresses it. some of the pages are 14,15 and the third one is about 45 pages long. Go back, print it. each page cost .08cents.

Which state did you file your a Lulac application? Are your lawyer's fees reasonable?
I have received quotations that are really over the roof.

Hi, schicco I filed in Phoenix AZ. I think my lawyer is charging us a very reasonable amount. He is my wife's lawyer for other proceedings for that reason he is not charging anything for this case.. He already sent all the documents for the intent of denial will see what happens next.

I was reading the proposed settlement of the legalization class action lawsuit that is ongoing in the Washington Western District Court,

Class definition:


All persons who entered the United States prior to January 1, 1982, who are
otherwise eligible for legalization under INA §245A, 8 U.S.C. §1255a, and 1) who
were deterred from timely filing an application for legalization because of INS's
regulations and policies, or 2) who filed a legalization application and a) the
application remains pending, or b) the application was denied, or c) the application
was granted and then later the applicant was subjected to the termination process, or
d) the applicant has otherwise not been approved for permanent resident status, and
who:


[1] Violated the terms of their nonimmigrant status prior to January 1, 1982
in a manner known to the government because documentation (including
the absence of certain records) existed in one or more government agencies
which, taken as a whole, would warrant a finding that the applicant was in
an unlawful status prior to January 1, 1982; or
[2] Violated the terms of their nonimmigrant visas prior to January 1, 1982
and whose violations were required to be made known to the INS pursuant
to then existing regulations, but who are unable pursuant to 8 C.F.R.
§245a.1(d) and §245a.2(d) to establish to the satisfaction of the INS for
purposes of legalization eligibility that such violations were made known to
INS because INS either destroyed such records or failed to store or
otherwise record such information in the official Service alien file; or
[3] After January 1, 1982 continuously maintained an unlawful residence in
the United States and who, after January 1, 1982 applied for and unlawfully
received a reinstatement to nonimmigrant status, change of nonimmigrant
status pursuant to INA §248, adjustment of status pursuant to INA §245, or
some other immigration benefit from INS, or the Department of State.


There is also language in the settlement that Defendent (USCIS) will not deport someone until they disprove a plaintiff's case. I haven't heard deportation language before. And the plaintiff's attorney's seem to be ok with it.

This is indeed troublesome for me at least.

Anyone has any other insight?
