Regarding my long pending I-485

[srinath2003]

Hi,

 

  I filed my EB2- India I-485 back in Nov 2011 and got my EAD in Dec 2011. All these years, i am doing renewal of my EAD.

 

PD: July 23rd, 2007

Category: EB2-India

I-485 filed Date: Nov 1st, 2011

1st EAD Received Date: Dec 23rd 2011

 

 

From last 2 years, USCIS always say "Case is in Background Check and cannot tell you any timeline at this time".

 

I reached out to Senator, DHS and in-person inquiry but no luck. I even reached out to my company law firm who made an inquiry with USCIS and got the same message.

 

To make sure whether my file is not missing with USCIS, I even opened FOIA as per my company law firm. I got a CD with all my documents from starting in PDF format which tells that my file is not missing.

 

I am totally lost why they take 4+ years and still not able to complete background check.

 

I sincerely request Murthy Law firm to provide me any guidance in this scenario. Is there anything your law firm can do and if so, I can reach out to your Office.

 

Thanks,

Sri

Srinath2003:

 

At this point, you might consider filing a "Mandamus" lawsuit in Federal District Court against the Department of Homeland Security, demanding adjudication of your long-pending I-485 (as you have the right to do).

 

This can frequently secure a quick decision in cases which have been pending beyond normal processing times. (But remember, if there are any actual problems with your application, the result can be a quick denial by USCIS, so you need to provide your attorney an honest evaluation of any "skeletons in the closet" that could result in a negative decision before you pursue this strategy).

 

You should schedule a consultation with an MLF attorney if you wish to discuss this - contact us at (410) 356-5440 and explain that you wish to discuss a "Mandamus" lawsuit.
