Dong, et al. v. Johnson, et al., No. 2:17-2092-ES-JSA (D.N.J. filed Mar. 30, 2017).
Plaintiffs in this class action are current and former F-1 nonimmigrants who previously enrolled at the University of Northern New Jersey (UNNJ), an undercover school set up by the Department of Homeland Security. On November 22, 2021, the Parties reached a Preliminary Settlement Agreement. On January 10, 2022, the Court granted the Parties’ Joint Motion for Preliminary Class Certification and Preliminary Settlement Approval.
In its order, the Court certified a class consisting of “[a]ny noncitizen who, for any period of time, enrolled in the University of Northern New Jersey.” The Preliminary Settlement Agreement, if approved, will affect you if you are a member of this class. If you are a member of this class, you should read this “Notice of Proposed Class Actions Settlement” (“Notice”) carefully as it explains certain time-limited opportunities you may qualify to pursue. This Notice also explains certain obligations you will be required to comply with if the Preliminary Settlement Agreement is approved.
