Delayed immigration case? Detained by ICE? You are in the right place. I'm the immigrant lawyer who went through the USCIS system myself, so I know what the waiting costs. I was among the first attorneys to use mandamus and APA suits to force decisions on delayed asylum cases, green cards, and N-400s. Since January 2026, I've litigated habeas petitions against prolonged ICE detention and was able get help a lot of detained people. I'm an immigrant and understand what you are going through, because I've been in your shoes! My practice is devoted to federal litigation against immigration agencies — mandamus actions, Administrative Procedure Act (APA) claims, and habeas corpus petitions. If USCIS or the Department of State has held your case past every published processing time, I will review your file and tell you whether it is ripe for a federal lawsuit to compel a decision. I litigate delays across every major category: Family-based green cards (I-130, I-485) Work permits and advance parole (I-765, I-131) Employment-based green cards (I-140) EB-5 investor petitions (I-526, I-829) Naturalization and citizenship (N-400), including § 1447(b) actions when USCIS fails to decide within 120 days of your naturalization interview Asylum applications (I-589) — delayed interviews and delayed decisions Consular processing and NVC delays 221(g) administrative processing holds I also bring APA challenges to unlawful USCIS denials, not only to delays. A wrong decision and a decision that never comes are reviewable in the same court. If you or someone in your family is being held in prolonged ICE detention, I file habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging both the lawfulness and the length of that detention. I file in United States district courts nationwide against USCIS, the Department of State, ICE, and the officials who run them. I am licensed in New York and admitted before the federal district courts of Texas, New York, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. This work began with my own file. I am an immigrant. I waited like everyone else, and I filed my first mandamus for myself — then for friends, then as a practice. When the government will not act, a federal lawsuit is often what makes it act. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
