I'm almost exactly 1.5 months behind you on both counts! I'll be very happy if I finally get a decision in a month and a half.

 

Did you ever find out any information about what may have caused your delay?

 

I thought you were moving?? did you already did move ? hopefully that will trigger a decision on the case.

Believe me, I've thought about it, but it's less than three months until we go now.

 

I'm hoping I can avoid the stress and expense of mandamus. I was going to give it a month in the new location, and then start proceedings if nothing changes.

 

I was also not sure how it would work if we filed mandamus, and then moved to a new state, ie: if the case would stay in the old state, or be moved to the new state with me.

No, I don't think USCIS will ever tell it.

I didn't have anything complex about my case. Never moved, never traveled outside, never had any troubles, easy interview etc.

It just felt that my case was just put aside and forgotten.

I paid to one of the best lawyers(Wilson Purves, in case anyone wants to know the name) to do the mandamus for me, and he said this is gonna be useless and waste of my money, as courts do not operate at full capacity and there is a huge backlog at this moment.  So he said, the citizenship will come a lot earlier than they will at our mandamus, and he was right. I would've wasted money and efforts. 

 

The best you can do here, is to submit case assistance request to Ombudsman, https://www.dhs.gov/case-assistance, I did it twice. Not sure if they are helpful or not, but it is the best you can do at this moment.

Thanks for the info, that's good feedback.

 

I did already try the Ombudsman, but in Brooklyn, I'm not yet at the time point that I'm allowed to, due to Brooklyn being so much slower than the rest of the country.
