i7_30
I filed an i730 based on my refugee status in August 2023 and in October 2024, they requested evidence and an i590 form for my wife. Since then, there has been no update. Can I apply for mandamus?

You could try, it may or may not work. Do youtube search "writ of mandamus pro se"

@Judy Loc I did and hired a lawyer and paid the amount and yesterday she messaged me saying the cases are stopped? I had 4 consultations with different lawyers, some say it is working but they cannot file a case and some say no it is stopped.. I paid huge amounts of money in the last two weeks, I am not giving up, I am fighting for my case, but I want a good lawyer

I got mine after filling a mandamus 2-3 months ago. my husband originally filled the case oct 2022. March 2025 we filed a mandamus with murray osorio law firm. There’s also a lawyer called Josh Goldstein he specializes in such cases. consultation is usually free. look him up

@Moh . I spent almost 800 $ just last week for consultation .2 attorney said yes it's work but we can't fill mandamus because the are not professional. the other two .one accepted and paid 5k for her to fill mandamus and after week she called me and said I will refund your money because this cases i7_30 suspended again ?? am soo confused. I don't know what can I do?

@Aisha ela ..I actually contacted Joe before and his office contacted me and gave me an appointment to call twice and no one called back. I think they are not interested. If they were interested they would have called to understand the matter. Their approach is unprofessional despite all the advertising they do daily on social media.

that’s interesting! I’m sorry you went through that. That’s not a great start. I did mine through Murray osorio anyways, they take time to file but they do the job.

@ali khedr Just to clarify — all FTJ-R cases are currently suspended.
No lawyer can move forward with mandamus or other filings until the President authorizes resumption of the FTJ-R process. It’s frustrating, but you have to wait for official updates.

@ali khedr If your case is FTJ-A, you can go ahead and file.
But if it’s FTJ-R, just wait and save your money for now 😊
