Writ of Mandamus for 1-130 counselor processing
we're meeting with an attorney soon to talk about filing a WoM for my wife's I130 case. it's been nearly 2 years without any movement. the attorney says it will cost about 2k to file which is much lower than I've seen elsewhere. the firm is well established, but I'm not sure, is this a red flag? does paying more really do much more or is it just a money making scheme? any advice would be very appreciated if you have similar experience.

@Steven H as per review only I don't think so it's a good idea because you have to wait that's the only way , sometimes in few cases it works, is this first marriage for both of you?

@Mparmar Parmar first and only. I've never heard someone say it didn't work.

@Steven H okay this was my experience what I have seen in so many cases.
Mr MCCJan 5, 2024
@please where is the attorney located at. can I get his contacts or email?
Fatima AJan 5, 2024
hey @Steven H the Lawyar I have bases the amount on our income. So I usually pay the form fees, and for her payment she bases it on my income.
Mr MCCJan 5, 2024
@Fatima A please where is the lawyer base in USA?

january 2022 i still waiting
Mr MCCJan 5, 2024
@Steven H have you tried submitting case inquiry to USCIS over your case
4/27/22 5/9/22Jan 5, 2024
@Mr MCC yes, and no reply and I've never heard anyone say a reply helped, just more stalling
Mr MCCJan 5, 2024
@Steven H maybe you should try using your senator to do so. because alot of people i saw that got approved use their senator to make the request. and have you or your spouse gone to jail or prison before, or have been married or file i130 before?

@Mr MCC In Californa. Immigration Institute of the Bay Area 476 3rd St ∙ Oakland, CA 94607 I’m using the same lawyer my sister used to get her husband in the US. since covid broke out in the middle of her case it took 3 years until her husband got here.
Mr MCCJan 5, 2024
@Fatima A thank you so much for this. I will contact them when I get to the point

You can sue USCIS on your own especially if you cannot afford an attorney, and it's much cheaper, my friend did it for his delayed case, and got papers within 45 days. Youtube "writ of mandamus pro se"

@4/27/22 5/9/22 I got approved. I’d say contact your congressman. that’s what helped me…

@april 2022 congrats!! I've tried my congressman, he's a MAGA guy and flat out said he isn't interested in helping with immigration. Senator's office also just told me incorrect info and stopped responding. waiting for writ now. looking to just move to Europe or something else. feels faster at this point.
