Hello, everybody, and welcome to our Friday quick live update about a very, very major
topic that many of you were asking, emailing, commenting. So, we're talking right now about
the lawsuit, the government versus Trump lawsuit to ban, to put an injunction on the proclamation
specifically as it applies to DV visa lottery winners. And as you remember, there was a
lawsuit that was filed several weeks ago. And yeah, so this is the lawsuit that we're
talking about right now. And so, the update is… I see many of you are joining right
now. Big news on a Friday. I was literally about to leave my office to go home. And the
news came out so I wanted to keep you posted. So, we'll talk about what happened in this
lawsuit, and what it means to you, guys, DV visa lottery winners, and also other people
that are being impacted by this proclamation. So, I'll be back in one second, and we'll
start. All right. So, welcome, welcome. So as you know, there was a big, big lawsuit
that was filed a few weeks ago, specifically to stop that Proclamation. One of the biggest
classes of immigrants that were impacted was the DV visa lottery winners. And so, what
the decision from today essentially says is that they were treated illegally, specifically,
when it comes to them being able to get their visas. And let me see here. I’ll make sure
that you, guys, can hear me. I don't have my microphone here. Can you, guys, hear me?
Okay, perfect. So, the news is that visa lottery winners are supposed to be able to get their
green cards before September 30. And the judge specifically said that the government's actions
were illegal, the way they acted. And therefore, they must be getting their visas, green cards
before September 30 effective today. So, this is just the first part of this. They may be…
we're waiting for more coming from this judge. But today is… this is a temporary shield
for the DV visa lottery. And the idea is that they are… you ordered the government to
issue the visas for DV lottery winners before September 30. And I was going to read to you
what the judge says. He says that the federal government had unreasonably delayed processing
of green cards won by a group of lottery winners and their relatives, they found themselves
unable to secure visas to move to the United States. And he ordered the government to undertake
good faith efforts to process and adjudicate green card applications by September 30, the
end of the government fiscal year. So, once again, this just shows you that the federal
judges, they do side with immigrants. They do understand that the way the government
acted was unreasonable. And therefore, it's just a big win. It's a big win. And people
are asking what's going to happen with K1 visas and other things. K1 visa is a totally
separate thing. The K1 visas were never banned by the proclamation. It’s just that the
embassies were delaying issuing visas. Okay? That's what really happened with the K1 visas.
The reason it's really important for DV lottery winners is because, as you know, if they're
not going to be able to get their visas by the 30th of September, a full class of immigrants
is not going to be able to immigrate. And essentially, it's like Trump is canceling
this program that was issued by Congress. So, it's just a major win. It shows us that
these lawsuits, they work. And again, I just did a video that summarized the lawsuits on
the EAD production of cards for those people that didn't receive their work permits. The
video will be released on Sunday. So, make sure you watch the video on Sunday. I have
a full description of that video. So, people are asking what about spouses of immigrants?
What about immigrants’ spouses of green card holders and all the other people that
are subject to the original proclamation? We don't know yet. But this is the first that
came out of that lawsuit for the moment. This decision, essentially, it's not a decision.
It's a temporary… some sort of an injunction. He put a temporary hold and force the government
to issue those green cards, those visas for the DV lottery winners. And then let's see
what happens with the other classes of immigrants that are coming to the US. So, I’ll let
you know once we have more updates from the litigation. Of course, I'll let, like I said.
Just like I did now, we just learned about it an hour ago. And I wanted to come on here
live and let you know. So, the first part of this litigation, the government's case,
is relating to DV visa lottery winners. And the judge specifically said, and again, I
think the reason why he did that today is because, remember, we have until September
30. And I'll share the link to the ruling in the description of this video. And so,
you'll be able to read more about it in the description of the video. So, once again,
just a quick live to give you an update. I will be… I'm actually recording videos right
now. And you'll get the video on Sunday with a more detailed explanation about what happened
so stay tuned. So, once again, thank you so much for watching. Thank you so much for being
