Tired of waiting on USCIS or a consulate with no end in sight? You don’t have to stay stuck. A Mandamus lawsuit could be the key to unlocking progress. At Gozel Law, we fight to protect your rights against unreasonable government delays.
What Are the Benefits of a Mandamus Lawsuit?
- Get results fast – Many clients receive a decision in as little as 3 months, even after years of delay.
- Trigger action without waiting – Filing alone often pushes the agency to move on your case.
- Ensure fair treatment – The court ensures that your application is reviewed promptly and in compliance with legal standards by the responsible agencies.
- No risk to your case – This lawsuit does not challenge the content of your application and therefore does not negatively affect the substance or outcome of your application —it simply demands a timely decision.

What Is a Mandamus Lawsuit?
A Mandamus lawsuit is a legal action filed in federal courts to ensure that government agencies fulfill their lawful duties when they've failed to act within a reasonable time. If agencies - like USCIS or consulates - unreasonably delay their legally required duties, this lawsuit can force them to take action.
Is It an Obstacle if the Official Processing Times Have Not Yet Passed?
USCIS may list extended processing times online. But don’t be discouraged by this. USCIS’s official timelines don’t always reflect what’s reasonable. Courts consider several factors to determine if your case is truly delayed:
- ⚡ Has the legally required processing time passed?
For immigration applications, a period of approximately 180 days is typically expected. - ⚡ Is your health or life being impacted by the delay?
e.g., urgent medical needs - ⚡ Does USCIS have higher-priority tasks causing delays?
Assessment of the agency’s workload and priorities. - ⚡ Have you lost access to vital rights?
Like work authorization or family unity.
We’ve helped many clients succeed even when “official” timelines weren’t exceeded. In most cases, these factors result in favor of our clients.
F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most Mandamus lawsuits are resolved within 60 to 120 days, especially if the agency chooses to settle. But in many cases, just filing is enough to jump-start action—you might not even have to wait for the lawsuit to conclude.
Not at all. Filing a Mandamus lawsuit is your legal right—it does not affect the outcome of your immigration application. It merely requires the agency to process your application within a reasonable time. Courts routinely uphold this right, and there’s no penalty for asserting it. Even if expedited processing is denied, it won’t harm your original application.
Is a Mandamus Lawsuit Right for You?
- ✅ Have you been waiting months – or years- without an update?
- ✅ Are you constantly told your case is “in process” with no end in sight?
- ✅ Has there been no significant progress in your case for a long time?
- ✅ Have your calls and emails to USCIS or consulates gone unanswered?
If you said “yes” to any of the above, a Mandamus lawsuit could be your solution.
