Asylum Based Green Card Approved After Mandamus
I got approved today. Filed for mandamus on August 1st with the help of a lawyer. Paid him $5.5k but you can also try to do it yourself. Keep in mind that it’s a little difficult file it on your own. I would sue them if you have been waiting for more than 15-18 months.

Asylum approved on July 1st, 2022

You can file mandamus as pro se, with assistance for a fair price as this person mentioned here https://www.lawfully.com/community/posts/new-card-is-being-produced--i-485-here-we-go--finally--vwJRkV4XswCSCFNgFC2j1g==

W OAug 21, 2024
@Ali Erturk it worth it, 5,5k for whole family and got instant approval, if I’m not mistaken you have 3 persons, right?
Ali ErturkAug 21, 2024
@W O yes for three poeple. Also, try reaching out to your congressman first to expedite it. This way, you can show that you tried everything before mandamus.
