Hi! Is there any groups for mandamus lawsuits? Im having trouble finding it. 

There are a lot of threads regarding them.  Search for "WOM" in the VJ search field.

What do you mean by groups, it can be part of the Immigration process and is often discussed on VJ.

 

This thread discusses mandamus and AP in Canada

You will want to check your regional forum. As of last July, WOM have been just a waste of money. They are being tossed out ever since that judge ruled against it. Lawyers are still taking your money and will say you have a good case but as many Canadians are discovering it was all a waste of money. So far only one in the Canada forum has mentioned that they might want to fight it further.  Not sure if they did or not as it would cost more on top of the original 4-7k they paid to file the WOM.

WoM's still work, very much depends on the case.

 

Usually you are not looking to go to Court, more a you have sat on it do your job so depends on the circumstances.

For my case my Wife has been stuck in AP for over 8 months after her interview. She was told to fill out form ds5535, on it, it asked for her travel/employment history (she has none!!!!!!) her brothers and I’s date of births and names and thats it! 
 

Our case was also expedited because of my medical problems, yet they still aren’t processing. I had two surgeries in 2 years, and im dealing with many medical problems. And this delay has made it worse. 
 

yet the embassy still is not processing.

A judge rule that 15 months from interview was not long at all. 8 months would forsure result in a dismissal. When they first started with the WOM they worked great, but that ship has sailed.

Sadly AP/DS-5535 cannot be expedited, it is also out of the Embassy/consulate hands the DS-5535 is being sent for Processing Stateside.

So your saying this lawsuit i filed wont work 100%. Our case was expedited, we are going through a lot. This isn’t fair.

Nothing is 100% with regards to immigration.

Nothing is 100%, sadly like I said earlier expedites don't apply to AP/ds-5535 it just gets you to the interview faster. I hope and pray that you do get somewhere with your lawsuit, but from what we are seeing here I wouldn't hold my breath.

My Wife finally got an email for passport submission and re-medical after being stuck in AP for over 8 months.

Her re-medical is on the 26th of April but, can we submit and mail her passport to the embassy before then?

Please let me know thanks.

Hi! So they asked for my Wifes passport, we mailed it to the embassy 2 weeks ago. Today the case updated from Refused to Administrative Processing. How long will i take for them to mail her passport back with the visa printed on? Thank you!
