Mandamus Action

Mandamus Action

At American Dream Law Office, we understand the frustration and anxiety caused by unreasonable delays in immigration processing. If your immigration petition has been pending for far too long with no clear explanation, a writ of mandamus may be the solution you need to move your case forward.

What Is a Mandamus Action?

A mandamus action is a federal lawsuit filed against a government agency, such as USCIS or the Department of State—when it fails to take timely action on an immigration application or petition. This legal tool is designed to compel the government to do its job and make a decision in your case.

It’s important to note: a mandamus lawsuit doesn’t guarantee a favorable outcome, it simply forces the agency to make a decision, whether it’s an approval or denial.

When Should You File a Mandamus Lawsuit?

Mandamus actions are typically considered when:

  • Your case has been unreasonably delayed, often 12 months or more, depending on the type of petition.
  • You have made multiple attempts to contact USCIS or the consulate with no response.
  • Your case is outside normal processing times and you’ve received no updates or justification for the delay.

Delays can significantly affect your ability to work, travel, reunite with family, or obtain permanent status. Filing a mandamus lawsuit may be the only way to resolve the bottleneck.

Types of Immigration Cases That May Qualify

Mandamus actions can be filed for various types of delayed cases, including:

  • Adjustment of Status (Green Card) Applications
  • Naturalization (N-400) Applications
  • I-130 Petitions for Alien Relatives
  • I-601 and I-601A Waivers
  • Consular Processing Delays
  • Employment-Based Petitions
  • Asylum Applications

Each case is unique. Our experienced immigration attorney will assess your specific situation to determine if a mandamus action is appropriate.
