5 years and 5 months of waiting—and still counting
What should I do? There has been no update and no RFE on my case. I have no criminal record, but my case has been stuck in security clearance for a long time, and I’m emotionally exhausted. On top of that, the recent ICE news is making me extremely anxious. I have two children here in the U.S and I’m worried about our future. I’ve been considering filing a mandamus lawsuit on my own, but I’m scared. Can my case be denied because of pending security clearance if I file for mandamus? Can anyone please help me understand the correct step-by-step process?”

Go online and search for the senators for your state and email one of them for help. You can also submit an inquiry for case out of normal processing time: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/

it’s so exhausting. I am in same shoes. case pending since 2020. I have reached out to both senator and congressman but sane response from USCIS. stuck with clearance. My son is about to enter college and can’t qualify for FAFSA cos of green card and have to pay out of pocket.

@waiting_since Jan_2020
you case is out of processing time. contact your senator (go online and search senators for your state) email them and let them put in an inquiry for you.
@summerlover 07 Do the above too before mandamus because the latter costs money

@tired from waitingg a lot of people are stuck in this stage and I am not sure exactly what it means. @summerlover 07 i am so sorry that you are going thru this. i was in your shoes but there is light at the end of the tunnel! When did you contact uscis last time? If it has been a while,maybe you can try that again?

If you want to file mandamus, as my friend did with his delayed case, get help with it. Search youtube for "writ of mandamus pro se" he got help from mandamus pro se. Wish you luck
