Challenging Immigration Delays in Federal Court
Looking for A Specific Post? Search Below
If your immigration petition is being unreasonably delayed by USCIS, you may want to consider filing a mandamus lawsuit in federal court to force USCIS to make a decision on the case.
The Administrative Procedure Act states that “within a reasonable time, each agency shall proceed to conclude a matter presented to it,” and that the federal district court “shall…compel agency action unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed.” The Immigration and Nationality Act and its implementing regulations create duties for USCIS to make decisions on immigration applications, including I-130 alien relative petitions, I-485 green card applications and I-751 petitions for removal of conditions, among others.
If your immigration petition is being significantly delayed beyond normal processing times and your inquiries to USCIS are not being answered, a mandamus lawsuit may be the only way to get the government to process your case.
To discuss whether a mandamus lawsuit would be appropriate for your case, contact one of our immigration attorneys today. We are open and available for video conference and teleconference appointments.

Highly recommend attorney Kevin Raica and attorney Agata Bigdanowicz. They were super helpful, responded on time, and won my case in record time. It took about a month and half in total for me to get my approval after filing!
Brittni Rivera and her team (Carina Lopez) are fantastic! They are responsive, efficient and beyond compassionate. Brittni Rivera and her team treated me with dignity and respect as they patiently answered all of my questions. They didn't move on without making sure I understood each step. Their work ethic was impressive. It felt like they were an extension of my personal team. I can't say enough to convey my gratitude…
I decided to use the services of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, and Kevin was nothing short of professional and amazing. From the consultation to the final approval, he gave us confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process. When I first told him about my wife’s wish to change her status, the first thing he said was, “We will get it done.” Even during the USCIS pause, he continued to…
Great service and attention. Felt safe and confident since the first meeting. Couldn't be happier with the results and services. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrea Ochoa and it was a great experience would absolutely reccomend her services
Our experience with the firm was extraordinary. We worked with attorney Andrea Ochoa. Since the very first meeting we met, Andrea gave us all the confidence to proceed with our case. She always answered our questions shortly and offered clear guidelines to proceed. When my son's case received a notice of intent to deny, she planned how to fight that decision effectively. We totally recommend everyone to trust their case…
I just want to say huge thank you to Mr. Kevin A. Raica. for everything he has done for me throughout my immigration case. When I first came to Kevin, he explained the SIJS process clearly and walked me through the steps. We first needed to get the guardianship court order before moving forward with the I-360, and he connected me with a trusted attorney to help with that part.…
I cannot find the words to express my gratitude to Brittni Rivera! She literally saved my family. We had been waiting seven years for what she accomplished in just three weeks. I was impressed by how accessible the office is—they always answer calls very quickly. A special thank you to paralegal Nataliia Melnyk. You are my heroes. Thank you.
Thank you all, I found this group to be a great service. Thank you all, blessings to you. especially Khiabett
