SIJS QUESTION??
Why do you think there haven’t been many SIJS cases approved lately? I barely see anyone posting about their approvals. In the past, it seemed like approvals didn’t take this long. What do you think is causing these delays?
I’ve already been waiting for 5 years.

we are in the same boat. I’ve been questioning the same too.

@Barbara Cristina Because of the regression it experienced and because it accumulated many cases, and now they are thoroughly investigating cases of false SIJS (Simplified Judicial Information System).

I personally think that the amount of people suing the government through writ of mandamus did not help us at all. I don’t think the fraud scandal in 2025 really affected us because I saw a lot of approvals earlier this year. I noticed the approvals stopped short after I saw a good amount of people posting that they were submitting their writ of mandamus. The government doesn’t like to be sued, I knew writ of mandamus way before it became popular and there’s this thing that they like us to use it as a last resort (like we should try more “friendly” ways to communicate first) obviously you’re not prohibited from doing the writ of mandamus but… before it became popular I did search about it and found people talking about that. I know someone who paid a lot on their writ of mandamus and it was canceled and because they had an asylum case at the same time of their SIJS, USCIS decided to move their court date (bad news) and they paid a lot of money to submit their writ of mandamus with a lawyer
Also, I haven’t seen a feedback from the people who submitted… it’s been few months already. something tells me it didn’t work as the lawyers planned to
and with that, the USCIS stopped approving SIJ cases because they needed to work on them
again, this is a *personal* opinion and not legal advise lol
