Writ of Mandamus and Naturalization Delay – Another Success Story
I am happy to report another successful Writ of Mandamus action that I filed on behalf of a client whose N-400 Naturalization application was delayed by the USCIS for almost 3 years.
My client filed his N-400 Naturalization application on March 1, 2006 and he had his naturalization interview on June 20, 2006. Then nothing for almost three years.
After my client tried on his own to contact the USCIS to get action on his N-400 and was told only that his N-400 was still pending, he contacted me.
I promptly filed a Writ of Mandamus on his behalf in the United States District Court for New Jersey on April 7, 2009, naming among others, Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States and Robert Mueller, the Director of the FBI (responsible for background checks).
Almost immediately after I served the government with the Writ of Mandamus, I was contacted by a U.S. Attorney who told me that the USCIS was going to approve the N-400.
My client’s naturalization ceremony was held on June 10th!
