Writ of Mandamus for family-based immigrant visa petitions at the U.S. consulate stage

Have you filed a family-based petition* on behalf of your family member, they had an interview over a year ago and have not received any decision on visa application?

After successfully completing interviews at U.S. Consulates, applicants filing family-based petitions often confront protracted delays attributed to extended administrative processing and rigorous due diligence procedures. While the interviews represent a critical step in the visa application process, subsequent administrative reviews, security clearances, and background checks contribute significantly to the time it takes for a final decision to be reached. Particularly in the context of family-based immigration, where the personal and familial ties require careful consideration, U.S. authorities prioritize a thorough examination of each applicant’s case. These additional layers of scrutiny aim to uphold immigration standards and national security protocols. Unfortunately, this meticulous process introduces delays that can be emotionally and logistically challenging for families eagerly awaiting reunification in the United States. Striking a balance between maintaining the integrity of the immigration system and expediting the approval process remains an ongoing challenge for authorities, as they navigate the complexities associated with post-interview administrative processing.

The Kameli Law P.C. will be filing a group lawsuit with the U.S. federal district court to request the Court to compel U.S. consulates to make a decision on your family-based immigrant visa applications.

The Kameli Law P.C.‘s main goal is to expedite the decision-making process for our client’s visa applications.
