FAQ

A Petition for Writ of Certiorari is an appellee's formal request to a state Supreme Court or to the Supreme Court of the United States to review a case for error or violation that occurred in a lower court.

Prepare the writ of mandamus by drafting a concise, factual and legal argument. Include facts and legal citations to support your argument. Provide the writ of mandamus to the court. The court may issue a ruling on the writ of mandamus in the form of an order or decision.

Writ of mandamus cases have a high success rate, with 99% of cases being processed and submitted faster without contestation in court. However, the success of the petition itself depends on the specific factors of the case. A writ of mandamus forces USCIS to make a decision but does not guarantee approval.

Yes, you can file the mandamus case in court yourself without a lawyer. Almost 90% of cases get resolved without a court hearing and hence it should be your first step. If needed, you can appear for a court hearing yourself (it's a simple one) or you can hire an attorney at that time.

Application for the writ of mandamus must be by petition, in the name of the state on the relation of the person applying, and verified by affidavit. The court may require notice of it to be given to the defendant, or grant an order to show cause why it should not be allowed, or allow the writ without notice.

The filing must include: The name of the petitioner. The relief sought in the petition. Presentation of the issue. Facts and evidence to explain and support the petition. Reasons for the issuance of the mandamus. Copies of any orders, opinions, or parts of the record, as necessary.

State every ground (reason) that supports your claim that you are being held in violation of the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. Attach additional pages if you have more than four grounds. State the facts supporting each ground. Any legal arguments must be submitted in a separate memorandum.

Application for the writ of mandamus must be by petition, in the name of the state on the relation of the person applying, and verified by affidavit. The court may require notice of it to be given to the defendant, or grant an order to show cause why it should not be allowed, or allow the writ without notice.

For example, in a petition for writ of certiorari, a common statement here would be to have a section heading called “Petition for Writ of Certiorari” and then a short paragraph stating “petitioner XYZ requests that this court issue a writ of certiorari to reverse and remand the decisions below.” This is not a place ...

You must show all of the following: That you have a clear right to relief. That there is an undisputed duty on the lower court. That there is no adequate remedy at law. That you asked the lower court act first.
