Brooklyn Writ of Mandamus Lawyer
Serving Clients With Delays On Their U.S. Citizenship Application, Green Card Application or Other Immigration or Visa Petition in New York & New Jersey
A Writ of Mandamus is a powerful legal tool that asks a Federal Court to compel a government agency, such as USCIS, or the Department of State to fulfill its legal obligations and either decide your matter which has been delayed or issue a new decision if they decided something in error. When immigration applications face unreasonable delays, or unreasonable denials: a Writ of Mandamus can force the agency to take action, ensuring applicants receive a timely and just decision. While it does not guarantee approval, it holds the government accountable for processing applications that may otherwise remain in bureaucratic limbo or ask them to fix mistakes in their decisions.
To secure this type of court order, you must file a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus in a Federal Court. By initiating this lawsuit against USCIS or other government agency, the agency in question is obligated to act on your application, either by approving or denying it or by fixing a decision that was made in error against your interests. This compels the government to review your case, consider the evidence submitted, and take the necessary action.
This legal remedy may be utilized for:
- Citizenship applications that are pending.
- Delayed asylum interviews or decisions.
- Immigrant visa applications awaiting action.
- Pending work visa applications.
- Adjustment of status applications still under review.
- Or any decisions made in error.

Types of Mandamus Orders
There are two main types of Writs of Mandamus:
- Mandamus for the Government to Take Action, which directs an official in an administrative agency to carry out an action that their position legally requires them to perform.
- Mandamus for the Government to Reissue an Erroneous Decision, which is sought when a petitioner requests a review of a decision already made by an administrative agency official.
How Long Does a Writ of Mandamus Filing Take?
When a writ of mandamus is filed, the court typically orders USCIS to reach a final decision on the application within 90 days of the court's directive. While USCIS rarely contests these cases, the outcome and response can vary depending on the specifics of each situation.
