Suing USCIS?

[Jawaree 718]

The journey is stressful & can be financially draining, however medicals & police

records run out 6-12 mths depending on embassy, many ppl have had to struggle

thru the system for yrs at times, but migrating to the USA is a privilege & not a

right regardless who one may have here.....backlogs, petitions from all over the

world & background checks for all these millions of ppl clog the system...I understand

your frustration but a lawsuit on USCIS,,,phew !...hope you hear something soon

The chance of winning is about as much chance as Kanye west actually becoming president

If we could sue, I would have for what they put us through and the $35000 this has cost me.

Would have been cheaper to put him though college and done the student visa

Hello,

I'd appreciate some help with my I-485 case, which has been going on since April 24, 2014.

After filling all of the information and a 9 month delay, USCIS replied that my medical exam was expired, though it obviously expired because of the 9 months.

After sending in my medical exam, now they claim that my fingerprints are expired (How does that even happen?) and are further delaying the case.

It has been 1 year and 5 months, which is 4 times as much compared to regular processing times. It has also cost me additional money to get the required documents.

What are my chances of winning a lawsuit and what would I actually win? There is no point of spending more money just to receive my green card, but if I manage to at least get my money back, I'm willing to do it.

Regards,

Wizi

Once you get the new appointment for your biometrics please go and get it done.

Forget about the lawsuit.

I know your frustration! We got a NPIW in September of last year. We got an RFE June of this year for expired medical. We complied with that, then got a notice of an interview. We just completed that on Tuesday, and was approved.

We filed a case with ombudsman, and with our senator. It was through our senator that we found out we were waiting to be scheduled for an interview.

Suing USCIS is a lose-lose situation. Your best bet is to contact your senator or congressman, and file with ombudsman.

Take a look at this video on youtube!

She is one of the best attorneys in Chicago area.
The important thing starts at 30:30 in this video .... She sues all of them ... Edited September 25, 2015 by pitigoi

But it doesn't say she wins

I am thinking to hire her to sue the USCIS! We got almost 12 months since the interview and no answers!
Our case is still pending consideration since October 2014. We filled I-130 and I-485 on April 2014.
At the interview, the IO said that I've been approved for the permanent resident card and I will receive the GC by mail within 10-14 days!
Nothing so far!

I just called her!
$1.750 is the fee!

Receive a paper at the interview or in the mail stating you were approved? Status online ever change?

What have you done to check on the delay of your green card? Contacted them? Infopass? Congressperson? USCIS Ombudsman?

The worst thing is that I discovered this forum after the interview.
At the end of the interview, the IO didn't give us a paper and we didn't know about that famous paper.
She just told us verbally that I am approved for the Permanent Resident Card and that I will receive the card by mail within 14 days.

The online status is saying the same thing like before the interview:
"Interview Is Scheduled On September XX, 2014, we scheduled you for your interview and mailed you an interview notice for Receipt Number MSCXXXXXXX.

Your interview is on October XX, 2014. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your interview notice by October XX, 2014, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
Also is saying at "next steps": We will assign your case to an officer. If an interview is required, we will notify you.
Should we expect the 2nd interview now or what???

In March 2015 we hired a lawyer.
He made an inquire at the USCIS in Chicago and he told us that the IO was transferred from GC interviews to citizenship interviews .... and that we will receive some news from them soon.
Also, we made online inquiries every month. Same answers every time.
Also we had an infopass! We spoke to a supervisor and she also told us to be patient and we will receive some news from them soon!
In October, 2015 will be a full year since the interview and NO GREENCARD!
Honestly we didn't expect this whole story ....

Now I wonder about biometrics! Was done in April 2014 ....

This is how a Complaint for Mandamus (for N-400 Citizenship) look like:

Win the battle and lose the war. it may be prudent to not lose track of your original intention.

[pitigoi 2]

If you think waiting 15 years to get a green card without seeing your parents, your kids and your homeland is a good original intention .... yes, then be prudent!
Wait for it ...
