I will draft a mandamus petition for family based visas
I turn your USCIS frustration into structured legal action
About this Gig
Stop the indefinite wait. Reclaim your familys future with a professional Federal Mandamus Petition.
When your I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) or I-485 (Adjustment of Status) is stuck in "active review" for months or years, it isn't just a delayit's a barrier to your family's life. I specialize in drafting Federal Court Petitions (Writ of Mandamus) specifically designed to compel USCIS to stop the stalling and issue a final decision on family-based visas.
What is included in the drafting:
- Jurisdictional Authority: Proper pleading under the Mandamus Act (28 U.S.C. § 1361) and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
- The "Rule of Reason": A persuasive argument using the TRAC factors to prove your delay is legally "unreasonable."
- Hardship Narrative: Meticulously detailing the emotional and financial impact of family separation or legal limbo.
- Defendant Identification: Correctly naming the Secretary of Homeland Security, the USCIS Director, and relevant Field Office officials.
Why choose my services?
- Authoritative Formatting: Clean, high-contrast layouts that meet federal court standards and demand immediate professional attention.
- Strategic Detail: No generic templates.

FAQ
How long should my family-based case be delayed before I file?
While there is no fixed law, many federal courts consider a delay of 12–24 months unreasonable. However, if your case has exceeded the USCIS "normal processing times" or involves significant hardship, a petition may be effective sooner.
Can a Mandamus result in an immediate green card approval?
A Mandamus compels a decision. It forces USCIS to move your file to the top of the pile. While it does not legally force an "approval," most well-documented family cases receive their final adjudication shortly after the government is served.
Does filing a lawsuit hurt my chances of approval?
Retaliation is a myth. Filing a Mandamus is a standard legal remedy to ensure the government follows the Administrative Procedure Act. It simply requires them to do the job they are already legally obligated to perform.
What documents are required to start the draft?
I will need your Receipt Notices (I-797), a record of any "Inquiry" responses from USCIS, and a brief description of how the delay is affecting your family (e.g., missed work opportunities or long-term separation).
