Chicago Mandamus Lawyer
 

A mandamus lawsuit forces the government to act when it has unreasonably delayed your immigration case. Many people wait years for decisions that should take months. Mandamus asks a federal court to order USCIS or another agency to do its job. While it does not guarantee approval, it guarantees movement. This gives families certainty and control over their futures again.
 

We document the length of the delay, your follow-up efforts, and the harm caused by government inaction. Courts compare your wait time to typical processing periods to determine whether the delay is unreasonable. Our team gathers strong evidence showing how the delay affects your livelihood and family. This approach strengthens your case and encourages the government to act. Often, cases resolve quickly once litigation begins.
 

Mandamus is rooted in principles of fairness and government accountability. Agencies have a legal duty to make timely decisions. When they fail, mandamus gives you a way to push forward. We prepare filings that are comprehensive, organized, and legally strong. This ensures your case is taken seriously from the start.
 

By filing mandamus, you take control of a process that often feels frustrating and endless. You no longer wait silently for answers. Instead, you assert your right to timely action. AIL understands how delays impact families and careers, and we fight to restore progress. Fairness and timely decisions are essential, and we help ensure you receive both.
