When to File a Mandamus Lawsuit for a Delayed USCIS Case
Category: Federal Litigation
A mandamus lawsuit asks a federal judge to force USCIS to take action on a delayed case.
It is appropriate when:
Your case has been pending for years
USCIS ignores inquiries
Background checks take too long
An interview or decision is unreasonably delayed
Mandamus does not force approval — only a decision.
But it often results in quick movement.
