Description:

Minneapolis, Minnesota immigration lawyer represented the Plaintiff seeking a writ of mandate.

An immigration writ of mandamus is a lawsuit filed in federal court to force the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or State Department to make a decision on an immigration case:

When to file
A writ of mandamus can be filed when the USCIS or State Department is taking too long to decide on an immigration case. This can include cases where there is an unreasonable delay that causes harm to the applicant.
How it works
The lawsuit asks the court to issue an order compelling the government to act or refrain from acting as required by law. The government has 60 days to respond to the lawsuit.
Who can be named as a defendant
In addition to the USCIS or State Department, other agencies may be named as defendants, such as the FBI, US Consulates and Embassies, and other branches of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Why it's important
A writ of mandamus can be a powerful tool to help resolve unreasonable delays in the immigration process

Outcome: Voluntarily dismissed.
