Is Your Immigration Case Stuck? We Can Help.
If your immigration application or petition has been stuck in processing for an unreasonable amount of time, you are not alone. Delays in immigration cases are frustrating and can impact your ability to work, travel, reunite with family, or obtain lawful status. At Lumina Immigration Law, PC, we help individuals and businesses resolve immigration delays by exploring available legal options—including filing a Writ of Mandamus lawsuit when necessary.
Why Are Immigration Cases Delayed?
Immigration case processing delays can happen for many reasons, including:
✔ USCIS or the State Department backlog (slow processing times due to high case volume).
✔ Security and background checks that take longer than expected.
✔ Administrative delays by USCIS, the National Visa Center (NVC), or a U.S. Consulate.
✔ Unexplained inaction by immigration authorities, leaving your case pending indefinitely.
How Can a Writ of Mandamus Lawsuit Help?
If your immigration case has been unreasonably delayed, you may have the option to file a Writ of Mandamus—a federal lawsuit that asks a court to compel USCIS or another government agency to take action on your case.
📌 A Writ of Mandamus does NOT guarantee case approval, but it forces the agency to issue a decision—whether approval or denial—so your case is no longer in limbo.
Who Can File a Writ of Mandamus?
A Writ of Mandamus may be an option if:
✔ Your case has been pending beyond normal processing times and there is no clear update from USCIS.
✔ You have submitted all required evidence and your case is still delayed.
✔ Your background checks or security clearance are causing delays beyond what is reasonable.
✔ You have attempted all available case inquiries (such as USCIS inquiries, congressional requests, and ombudsman assistance) but your case remains unresolved.
What Happens After Filing a Writ of Mandamus?
Once a Writ of Mandamus lawsuit is filed in federal district court, USCIS or the government agency must respond within 60 days. In most cases, filing this lawsuit results in USCIS prioritizing your case and issuing a decision within a few months.
