When can I file mandamus for I-730 for someone inside the USA?
I filed I-730 for my spouse and child August 8, 2024. The status still says fees were waived. Does anyone know if it’s okay to file mandamus cases for them?

@Marvin Mejia thanks for sharing, have you asked lawyers if you can do mandamus?

@Judy Loc no last year when I submitted the form average processing time was around 8-9 months. Now it’s saying 18,5 months and earliest I can submit inquiry is February 28, 2027!!! That’s insane!

@A K I guess if you are in a rush and want to try, you can try as pro se, do youtube search "writ of mandamus pro se" many people got help from there
