You can file the mandamus lawsuit, but it will most likely come back denied. The writ only says they need to make a decision, not necessarily one in your favor. You should really talk to the attorney about the consequences of filing the writ before jumping to the lawsuit.

Yes janetusman. I have read that it generally comes back as denied but at least I will have a concrete answer instead of being in a limbo. I just hate that they won't grant nor deny and keep leaving petitions pending forever. If they deny it (and trust me the possibility is in my head) I have already talked to my manager and we have an office in Dubai, UAE (where I was born and raised. Still have my immediate family there) and they are willing to have me work from there (perks of working in IT). I don't see any point in staying in the USA if I can't be with my fiance. I'd rather move to UAE, get married in Pakistan, file for her paperwork, and while I wait i'll sponsor her to come live with me in UAE (which is a lot easier than US immigration). But it's just a contingency plan in case this AP lingers on. More than likely with her being a female it shouldn't be stuck for that long (fingerscrossed). Everything is in the clear, I make enough, have met her plenty of times, etc.

Oh and of course i'll be talking to a reputable attorney about the mandamus lawsuit and my options, my scenarios, etc. I haven't researched that much into it but I have kept it as an option in my mind. Thank you for the advice! Have you heard anything on your end yet?

Nope, still waiting for the case to be returned to USCIS. It can take up to 2 months for the diplomatic pouch to make it here. Kinda crazy that NVC sends via DHL which gets there in three days, but the diplomatic pouch can take 2 months? But then again nothing makes sense in this process.

If you have the opportunity to move to another country and wait it out I think you should. Because if they deny you, you will just have to start the process all over again (if you intend to live in the US at some point) and you have already come so far. If I could move to another country I would, but I have children and I can't leave them here while I move to another country.

Oops...just noticed that you are filing for K1. If you don't want to wait then moving, getting married and filing for CR1 might be a good option for you. I would consult an attorney though.

Well I am not sure what you are planning on doing to put up a fight. Everyone here is not in AP by choice...I know you are frustrated...we all are. I wish someone had looked me in the eye and honestly told me what I was going to be up against so I could have at least been prepared. My attorney told me that it would be 8-10 months...boy was he wrong. It's only when I came to this forum that I fully understood what was going to happen. We all want to fight for our loved ones, the problem is we don't know how to fight them. We can hire attorney's, file writs, try to get help from congressman nothing will change to end this AP hell until someone with power is willing to fight for us and band us together. Are you that person?

If you went through this then you should know what your wife is up against and you should be preparing her for what is coming.

When person come to states then he know the true meaning of money anything can happen in this world with money

You cant buy a visa... If you could we all would have done so.

[janetusman 33]

Even if there was the option to buy an illegal visa I wouldn't do it. You would spend your whole life worrying about getting caught and deported. In the long run it's not worth it.

Even though this process sucks in the worst way imaginable we all still have to go through it. Thankfully not all are put through what some of us are going through, but months even years of waiting is not uncommon. Thinking that there is some way to shortcut or circumvent the process is just giving false hope to those we love. Which in my opinion is the worst thing we could do to them. All we can do is try to live our lives the best we can while waiting through this hell.
