I’m looking for some real guidance about my green card (I-485) case.
Hi everyone, (Sorry for the long post)
My application has been pending for 20 months now with no updates since biometrics. With the new immigration environment under Trump making everything tougher and slower, I honestly don’t know how to move forward anymore. I spoke with my attorney about filing a Writ of Mandamus, but they discouraged me, saying it might not be the best option right now.
At this point, I feel stuck and frustrated.
I wanted to ask the group:
• Has anyone filed Mandamus recently under the new administration’s policies?
• Did it help move the case?
• Is it risky in this current climate?
• What would you do if you were in my situation?
And if anyone knows a strong attorney who confidently handles Mandamus cases, please share their info. I’m really tired of waiting without any progress and just want to know the safest and smartest way to move forward now. And, I’m not from any high-risk country. Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations. 🙏

@Jarmandeep Singh The questions were about confirming the residential address and work address, and whether the employment had changed from the time of filing to the interview. They also asked the 60 security related questions listed at the end of the Form I-485 application.
