Interesting, is it Ok to just send email to the Chief Civil Division even though she is part of the senior leadership? their emails are not available on their website but of course you can find them on legal documents, it just feels weird to hunt down a senior leader email and send them courtesy copies.

My mother had her IR5 interview on October 3. She received a 221(g) notice and was instructed to submit some missing documents. Additionally, the visa officer retained her passport. We submitted the required documents on October 15. When can we expect to hear back from the embassy?

I recently read your book since I was thinking about pro se writ of mandamus, great book. I read about FOIA trick in there as well. I had two questions: 1) Is there any point in doing FOIA if doing pro se? does it increase the odds of getting costs paid by government as well? 2) Is there a strategy to maximize the chance that the case goes through (maybe by trying not to settle) and make the government pay the fees? if so what are the rough odds of that happening?

My visa was refused under 221(g) back in October, 2019. They asked me some information regarding my addresses and travel history and after providing them it went to the administrative processing. I haven’t heard anything from them since November 2019. I wanted to visit to Las Vegas for a conference this December and finally decided to reach out to the embassy, they mentioned that administrative processing cases automatically closes after a year and you have to apply again. So I applied and have my appointment date of next year, July 2025 ( longer wait times ). I hope it helps :)

For those struggling with the cost, DIY (pro se) filing is also a thing, there are enough online material to help with that. Requires some effort but it is doable. Again worse case would be nothing happens, or if there are court hearings (that means more prepping.). It would cost around 400$ to file the complaint.

Pro se is not ideal, but if you are going that route, this book may help speed up the education process: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKHRWKHJ/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1666790720&refinements=p_27%3ASarraf+Gentile+LLP&s=books&sr=1-2&text=Sarraf+Gentile+LLP

Is it possible filing Write of Mandamus if it has passed more than 120 days since I751 and N400 interview. I-751 filed in 10/7/2022 , N-400 filed 10/12/2023? Marriage based, 3 year rule. N-652 approval and pass was given at the day of the interview but then the same day was transferred to a different state and different jurisdiction USCIS office. Since then USCIS has given only notice about transferring i-751 in Missouri, but no updates for n-400. Senator, congressman, ombudsman, uscis(multiple times) have been contacted since interview. Can i file Mandamus for delay of the Oath if i-751 has not been approved yet due to being sent to a different office for processing for no reason?

My f1 visa interview was fantastic. However, the visa officer informed me that my application will be under Administrative process and he didn’t mention the refusal, and he didn’t give me a paper, and told me no need for information and that I will receive an update within a week. I didn’t receive anything yet and they keep my passport. Is that a good indication and what should I do?

Hello. My son has been in AP status since September 2023. My wife (stepmother)filed for him in 2019, and his interview came up on August 28th, 2023, main while before the interview date, me and wife had separated but not divorced, so he was refused the visa the visa officer asked my son if he was aware that there was a separation and he said no. The Embassy reached out to my wife with some questions and asked for documents and we supplied and requested documents since November 2023, up to date we've not heard anything from the Embassy, whenever I email them, they always say they are working on the case. What is your professional advice? Thank you
