APA Lawsuit

Challenge Unreasonable Immigration Delays with an APA Lawsuit

At American Dream Law Office, we understand the frustration of waiting months, or even years, for immigration decisions that should take far less time. When federal agencies like USCIS, the Department of State, or others fail to act within a reasonable timeframe, legal action may be your best option. That’s where an APA lawsuit comes in.

What Is an APA Lawsuit?

An APA lawsuit refers to legal action filed under the Administrative Procedure Act, a federal law that allows individuals to challenge agency actions that are unlawful, unreasonable, or delayed. In immigration cases, APA lawsuits are often used when the government has:

  • Unreasonably delayed a decision on a visa, green card, naturalization, or other application
  • Failed to act on a petition that’s been pending beyond normal processing times
  • Made a decision that was arbitrary, capricious, or not in accordance with the law

How APA Lawsuits Work in Immigration

Unlike mandamus actions (which force the government to make a decision), APA lawsuits focus on how and why the agency is acting, or not acting. They challenge agency inaction or improper decision-making and ask a federal judge to review and remedy the delay or denial.

APA lawsuits can apply to:

  • Delays in I-130 or I-485 adjudications
  • Prolonged administrative processing at U.S. consulates
  • Delayed asylum or employment authorization decisions
  • Unlawful policy changes or blanket denials

Why File an APA Lawsuit?

Government agencies are required to act within a reasonable time. If your case has been stuck for months or years with no updates, you don’t have to keep waiting. Filing an APA lawsuit can:

  • Get your case moving
  • Force the agency to respond
  • Hold the government accountable
  • Prevent further harm from unjustified delays

You deserve a decision, whether it’s an approval or denial, not endless silence.
