A (writ of) mandamus is an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties or correct an abuse of discretion.

For example, a party can seek an order granting discovery, or dismissing all or part of an action by bringing an Order to Show Cause. The Order to Show Cause differs from a motion, because it can shorten the required notice time to the other parties.

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.

In New York, a writ of mandamus may be issued for when an administrative agency, public body, or officer fails to perform a duty enjoined upon them by New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules, Section 7803.

A litigant filing a petition for a writ of mandamus takes a gamble. If unsuc- cessful, the petitioner risks not only wasting time and effort but also insulting the district court judge by calling into question his or her ability to carry out the basic duties of a judge.

Case Adjudication: In many instances, filing a mandamus lawsuit prompts USCIS to take action on your case and adjudicate it promptly. You may receive a decision on your application or petition, which could result in an approval or denial.
