Is your citizenship case taking too long? They may need to file a lawsuit. I know it sounds strange. That some people might say, well, applying to become a citizen. Shouldn’t it be easy? It could be, but some people have some difficulty for a numerous amount of reasons. Yes, the form itself if you understand the English, maybe. Unfortunately for other people that don’t speak English that well or understand it, unfortunately, the forms are in English.

However, you know, even if you don’t speak English, you might qualify for something like the year, your age basically, and how long you’ve had the status. It could be you waiting for the interview. It could be with you waiting for the decision or number three, it could be you waiting for the oath ceremony. The fourth one is when, let’s say you got denied and you spoke with the lawyer to verify that. Yeah, you are eligible. It shouldn’t have been denied, right? So you file something called N 3-3-6 That’s a rehearing. The USCIS policy manual, I believe that states you have to wait a hundred eighty days could be a hundred twenty, but hopefully you haven’t had to wait that.

But they’re supposed to bring you back or invite you back for a hearing. And if they don’t, that, my friends, the action plan. Is to sue them. Supposing manual, the uss. Dot G O V website states that if you had to, if you needed a rehearing, they’re supposed to schedule the hearing within a hundred eighty, days OK, upon them receiving your request. And 33 six. So when people come to us or call us about this, we say, look, it does appear that you need to provide criminal documents, or maybe your tax documents.

Maybe you told the officer that you had, you know, you had to pay the IRS back pay. For the past non payment, but you do have some kind of, maybe you have an agreement with IRS to get it done so that you pay it. You know, typically preferably or not preferably, you have to provide that before or at the interview. If you don’t provide an interview then. Most likely they’re not going to give you another chance, which sounds kind of strange and it stinks because you have to pay more money to file this form and 3-3-6 so anyways.

But the other scenario if it’s not yet a denial situation, which hopefully not, but let’s say you’ve been waiting for interview and a long it’s a long time and it’s now I would say on average 12 months before the pandemic, but recently by the way, success story we have filed. Case at least for like i think 5 clients so far recently, and they got the interview within about one or two months.

Just depends, OK? And that was amazing, you know, because with Trump, of course, he delayed everything. So there’s even some people who file, of course, like a year ago are still waiting. So I know it’s frustrating, but in that sense, it could be because it’s just stuck. I hate to say it, it’s just stuck. And it’s ridiculous that you guys have to pay more money and do this. So you might wonder well can I can you file the mandamus lawsuit yourself from.

To my knowledge I don’t. I don’t think you can. There might be like a few like more requirements for you to do that. But I think when they definitely know, when there’s a lawyer involved, the US attorneys will speed up whatever the heck they need to do, which is basically a contact. For example, USCIS, the agency contact success story. I want to share with you all real quick actions out of Baltimore. It’s for a. Spells and their child for four eighty five application. Let me see if I can pull up this case.

I believe we filed a case about two months ago and in Baltimore, and the last time I checked about a month ago, checking the processing times for the four eighty five baltimore maryland field office, it was so bad. It’s such a long time that even their congressmen in that area Steny Hoyer representative. Got a memo with silver other colleagues to say what the Hell’s going on in Baltimore, maryland. Why is it taking so long? So unfortunately, I think a letter from them is unfortunately not enough, but that’s how bad it is. They got a congressman to send a letter in that sense. Ok. And yeah, I mean that took about two months on our end, actually a little over two months because of holidays.

But that was quick. You know what they, you know what the government wanted. And updated medical exam. And of course, back then medical exams were probably only valid for about a year. Ok, now it’s valid for two years. So you would think a USCIS officer would just send the. Fortunately, they don’t send emails. They have to send a notice that they could just send a freaking RFE which is what we got, what the US attorney provided to us. They could have just sent an RFE to these clients and said please provide us an updated medical exam.

What the hell is going on internally with USPS? They probably don’t know themselves. So unfortunately, sometimes folks lawsuit is necessary to get their attention on your case. Ok, so we have the action plan, you know about the action plan. You’re probably already researched this before even getting to our channel. You just need to make that decision. The most common. Question we get is that delays people’s decision to do this, to take this action plan that we prepare for you all. Is Will finally lawsuit affect the decision of my case? No, I mean it.

You could receive a denial in general. I mean, it’s not because of you filing lawsuit, it’s maybe because if you hired a lawyer before, or maybe you didn’t hire a lawyer or you hire like a consultant, which I don’t recommend that. Then you know, maybe that person didn’t prepare you to make sure you’re qualified or maybe didn’t provide the sufficient evidence and then it results in request for evidence, but just find the lawsuit by itself does not result in a denial lawyers know this causation, right? Ok, so hopefully that shares some good information for you all, because the government folks, they’re messing around with y’all, and you need to grab your legal status and get it in your hands, get in your possession.

It is so close and you would think after all these years that you’ve been waiting. That it’s coming soon. I’m sorry to tell you it’s not coming soon. You most likely have to sue them, alright. And this includes for a lot of different case types. Ok, all right. Anyways, talk to you soon. Take care.
