Federal Litigation for Delayed Immigration Cases
Mandamus.Attorney is a focused legal resource for individuals and families facing prolonged delays in immigration applications and petitions.
Powered by Relief Law PLLC, Mandamus.Attorney focuses on federal litigation involving delayed immigration matters, including mandamus and Administrative Procedure Act claims when government action has been unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed.
When an Immigration Case Has Been Delayed Too Long
Immigration cases do not all move at the same pace. A delay that may be understandable in one case may raise different concerns in another.
Our approach is not based solely on how many months a case has been pending. We examine the procedural history, agency activity, type of immigration benefit, underlying eligibility issues, applicable federal law, and the court in which litigation may potentially be filed.
Delayed matters may include:
- I-485 adjustment of status applications
- I-130 family-based petitions
- N-400 naturalization applications
- Other long-pending USCIS matters
- Immigration cases involving unreasonable agency delay
Federal Litigation Requires More Than Counting the Delay
Evaluate the Delay
We review how long the immigration matter has been pending, what action the government has taken, and whether the delay may support federal litigation.
Review the Underlying Case
A mandamus lawsuit seeks government action, not guaranteed approval. The underlying immigration application should therefore be evaluated before litigation begins.
Assess Federal Court Options
Jurisdiction, venue, applicable law, responsible agencies, and the procedural posture of the case all matter when determining whether a federal action is appropriate.
