Is Your Immigration Case Stuck? We Sue the Government to Get You a Decision.

A Writ of Mandamus is a federal court action filed under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to compel a government agency like USCIS or the Department of State to act on an unreasonably delayed case. It doesn’t force a specific outcome — it legally requires the agency to issue a final decision instead of leaving your file in limbo.

No. Filing a Mandamus lawsuit is a legal right that ensures government accountability. USCIS adjudicators decide cases based on the law and facts. In our experience with hundreds of cases, filing a lawsuit does not trigger retaliation — it simply moves your file to the top of the officer’s desk for a final decision.

The government has 60 days to respond to the summons. However, many cases resolve much faster because the government often issues a decision before filing a formal response in court — they prefer to adjudicate rather than defend the delay. Many of our clients see meaningful movement within 30–45 days.

Total costs consist of the federal court filing fee (currently $405) and attorney fees. With us, there are no surprises — we provide on a transparent, flat-fee basis. To get a detailed quote specific to your situation, please fill out our free eligibility form now.

Timing depends on case type. Naturalization: 120 days post-interview. Marriage Green Cards: typically 12 months. 221(g) Consular: 6–12 months. Asylum: 4–5 years. EB-5: 1 year (post-2022). However, urgent humanitarian or financial factors can justify earlier action. Our free evaluation will assess your specific timeline.

Technically yes, but it is highly discouraged. Mandamus litigation involves strict federal procedural rules, venue selection strategy, and complex legal standards like the TRAC factors.
