I inquired with AILF about the class-action lawsuit for the July Visa Bulletin mess. The latest news is that: (1) the suit will be filed soon, (2) plaintiffs do not have to be represented by counsel but will have to complete and submit a retainer agreement to be represented by AILF (of course, if you are represented, participate in the suit through your lawyer), (3) those who would have been eligible to file I-485 applications per the originally published July 2007 DOS Visa Bulletin but who do NOT file WILL be eligible to partake in the lawsuit (a separate questionnaire for such potential plaintiffs should be available through AILF as of early next week).
Please contact AILF (www.ailf.org) or your immigration lawyer for FAQs on the lawsuit and the potential plaintiff questionnaire (both to be updated this week, as well as the retainer agreement.
