Case Processing
Mandamus pro se
Hello everyone,
I can’t afford an attorney, so yesterday I filed a writ of mandamus (WOM) pro se in federal court in Los Angeles regarding my pending asylum-based green card application.
I have been waiting for 22 months. I also requested assistance twice through my local congressman’s office, but I still haven’t received any meaningful updates.
I submitted a request to waive the court filing fee and was told I need to wait until the court processes that request.
Has anyone been in a similar situation, especially with filing pro se or waiting for a fee waiver decision? I would appreciate hearing about your experiences.
This immigration journey can be exhausting, but we must keep our faith, remain patient, and support one another. Wishing everyone strength, peace, and success on their immigration journey. May we all receive good news soon.
Thank you for reading and sharing your experiences.
Interview
Quick update — on Oct 14 my interview was cancelled and a new notice was ordered, then literally the next day (Oct 15) USCIS scheduled a new interview for my I-485 (SIJ/EB4). I also have an active mandamus lawsuit with USCIS. For those with SIJ-based cases, what did your interview actually cover?
USPS did not deliver card and tracking not updated
So, it’s been 3 days that USPS is supposed to have delivered my card but haven’t done so. Uninterestingly, the tracking hasn’t been updated for 4 days. According to the last scan that I can see online, it’s stuck in Kansas MO facility. Anyone have an idea about what to do in this situation?

Finally approved!
It has been a long journey - way longer than I expected.
I am ROW and my PD has always been current throughout the whole process.
MSC receipt (no access to API)
RFE was for medical exam and photos, even though I submitted those with the original application.
I still don’t know why I was called for an interview, they only asked the questions on the I-485 and that was it. Waited almost 7 months post interview to get a decision and almost 18 months total.
