Defendant's Attorney: Eleanor A. Robinson-Gaither

Description: Houston, Texas immigration lawyer represented the Plaintiffs who sued the Defendant seeking a write of mandamus.

"A writ of mandamus is a court order that compels a government agency to perform a specific duty. In immigration law, writs of mandamus are often used to compel the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to make a decision on an immigration application that has been pending for an unreasonable amount of time.

To be successful in a writ of mandamus case, the plaintiff must show that:

USCIS has a clear and unambiguous duty to make a decision on the plaintiff's application;
USCIS has failed to perform that duty within a reasonable amount of time; and
the plaintiff has no other adequate remedy.

If the court finds that the plaintiff has met these requirements, it may issue a writ of mandamus compelling USCIS to make a decision on the plaintiff's application within a certain period of time.

Writs of mandamus can be an effective way to expedite the processing of an immigration application, but they are also complex and challenging to litigate. It is important to consult with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss whether a writ of mandamus is appropriate in your case.

Here are some examples of cases where a writ of mandamus may be appropriate:

USCIS has failed to make a decision on an immigration application for more than a year.
USCIS has lost an immigration application or other important documents.
USCIS has made an unreasonable request for additional evidence.
USCIS has failed to comply with its own regulations or procedures.

If you are considering filing a writ of mandamus, it is important to consult with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss your case and your options."
