I-485 was approved after Mandamus filed and went through interview.
I tried congressional inquiry and USCIS e-request before, but both of them failed. Seems like only Mandamus working for them to render a decision.

@Husky G. Congratulations! I filed my mandamus and the defendants were served yesterday. I tracked it and saw that it was delivered. Since you’ve been through this and got approved, any advice on what to expect next or what I should do at this point? Thanks.
Husky G.Apr 4, 2026
@Reza X Just be patient and wait for the response from USCIS. You might get approved directly or receive an interview notice.
w hope Apr 4, 2026
@Reza X I’m in the same situation. My dependents were served about a month ago. When did you apply for your I-485? How long did you wait after your case was approved before filing the I-485?
Reza’s JourneyApr 5, 2026
@Husky G. Thank you.
Reza’s JourneyApr 5, 2026
@w hope I-485 applied in April 2024, and waited like 7 months after asylum granted. What about you?
Manifest LawApr 5, 2026
Mandamus can be effective in a real delay case, but it compels agency action, not approval. It is a tool to force a decision when the government has a duty to act and ordinary follow-up has failed; it is not a guaranteed approval strategy. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session! - Attorney Rashmi Bishnoi (All information shared here is for general educational purposes only.
