What is it?
A Mandamus petition is a federal action asking the court to compel a government agency (such as USCIS) to make a decision on an immigration matter that has been unreasonably stalled.
Who qualifies?
- Petitions or applications with a clearly unreasonable delay.
- Matters “stuck” with no agency response despite the time elapsed.
How we help
We sue the agency in federal court to force a decision on your case. We do not guarantee a specific outcome, but we work to unblock the process so your application finally moves forward.
Frequently asked questions
No. Mandamus compels the agency to decide, not to decide in your favor. Its value is unblocking matters that are unreasonably stalled.
