IF YOUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN PENDING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, 

UNDER THE LAW YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A DECISION.

​

In some instances your case may be resolved by calling the USCIS at 1-800-375-5283. Unfortunately the majority of the time this is not the reality.

 

If a person has an application or petition that has been pending for longer than the processing times claimed by USCIS then the person may be entitled to have the backing of a federal court order called Writ of Mandamus that requires USCIS to immediately adjudicate their application.

 

To see what the USCIS processing times are for your pending applications click here then scroll to the bottom of the page to enter your USCIS Field office.

 

Upon filing the Petition for Writ of Mandamus the government has 60 days to respond to the complaint. Many times USCIS will adjudicate the application based on the strength of the claim prior to responding to the petition.

 

This office charges a flat fee (not hourly) for such Petitions, so you know exactly what you are paying for and there are no surprises later in the process. Representation includes filings, responding to all motions, hearings, correspondence with the US Attorney’s Office and responding to all USCIS correspondence.

Other costs that the Petitioner will incur include:

​

     Postage approximate costs $25.00

     Copies approximate costs $40.00

     Filing Fee $400.00
