Writ of Mandamus
In certain cases, USCIS may simply fail to act regarding your petition. Perhaps you have a case that has been pending for an egregiously long amount of time. You may have even attempted to contact your locally elected official to see why the process is taking so long. You may have attempted to contact the immigration office multiple times via mail or scheduled multiple appointments with your local immigration office to discuss the status of your case. But all of these steps still don't lead to your case getting processed. What can you do?One step you may consider is filing a writ of mandamus in federal court. This measure may force immigration to at least render a decision on your case. A writ does not guarantee approval, however, it may be the solution to your untimely processed case.
To determine whether a writ of mandamus is a viable measure to take regarding your case, please contact our office to schedule a consultation.
