VAWA - Approved after filing Mandamus Lawsuit
Just wanted to share an update in case it helps someone here. After waiting a long time with no movement, I decided to file a mandamus lawsuit. Not long after that, my VAWA (I-360) was approved. I know this process can be frustrating and exhausting, especially when timelines keep getting pushed. Filing wasn’t an easy decision, but in my case, it definitely helped move things forward. Hope this gives some encouragement to anyone stuck waiting.

@A T Is filing a mandamus a very complex process ? Do you have any legal background ? how did you file it alone ?
A
A T4 de abr de 2026
@waiting_since Jan_2020 How do you know it’s a complex process? When was the last time you attempted to file a Mandamus Lawsuit? You don’t have to have a legal background to file a Mandamus Habeus Corpus lawsuit. Forms are available on US District Court website but apparently one has to look for the right forms FYI. I have just filed a second Mandamus Lawsuit yesterday in regards to my I-485 application. I empathize with those who have patiently waited for years, but I refuse to endure such prolonged delays. Consequently, I decided to take matters into my own hands and filed a lawsuit against the government. By doing so, I have assumed control over the situation and am determined to resolve it. Good Luck 🍀

@A T congratulations:) Did you happen to receive any Prima Facie during this process before you filed the mandamus?
A

@uscislin linuscis Thanks. Yes. Plenty of Prima Facie. But I feel that’s a worthless piece of document.

@A T thank you for getting back to me. how long did you wait after you were above the normal processing timeline before you filed the mandamus?
A
A T4 de abr de 2026
@uscislin linuscis I wasn’t above the normal processing time before I filed the Mandamus.

Did you file the lawsuit for being pending for so long or what was the reason you put?

@Robert Yo Yes. This case has been pending for over 32 months.

@A T can you help me im trying to do it my own as well how can I do it ?

A T4 de abr de 2026
@USCIS . I am sorry to inform you that I won’t be able to assist you with this. It’s a public forum, and I lack the time to provide detailed guidance. However, you can easily find information on how to file a mandamus lawsuit as a pro se litigant by searching online or watching YouTube videos.

A T6 de abr de 2026
@S S @S S. I won’t be able to help you with that, and I don’t think I asked for your situation since I’m not a lawyer or your lawyer. You should reach out to a lawyer for a Mandamus or search online for instructions on how to file as a Pro Se. Good luck!
