221G AP (Merged threads)

My immigrant visa application is undergoing administrative process while in 6 months. 
when do you recommend to file mandamus lawsuit, also can I file myself lawsuit if I am outside The US?

6 months is not that long for extended AP.  Filing a WOM is a bit risky.

Agree with the above, filing a WOM this early is likely to get the case dismissed. I’d wait until a year at least.

Hello everyone 

Is there anyone here who had in The US embassy 🇬🇪 immigrant visa interview end of the May 2024 and received 221G refusal letter, reason is case undergoing administrative process. 
Could you share your timeline and if you consider write of mandamus lawsuit for unreasonable delay process.

Plenty of cases on here

 

Depends on the Consulate.

Please share your timeline too - put full details in about the visa etc, to help others.

 

It's not an unreasonable delay yet, far too early for WOM.

Interview had end of the May, 2024. (IB1 Visa). The US embassy Georgia.

I think normally time is to complete AP 6 months. I can’t believe if someone working on my case and can’t complete the process. Also, I don’t wanna to believe they need 6 or 8 months to make a negative decision.

There is no 'normal' time for AP, it often takes much longer than 6 months. It's not just them making a decision in that time, it's them gathering background information and that often relies on third parties i.e. if they're doing background checks in other countries, those other countries can take months to respond. 

 

Do you mean IR1 or EB1?

 Visa IB1. 
approximately when I can sue? I know when you file wom maximum 4 months you will get a decision🤷‍♂️. If DOS or US Embassy isn’t ready to make a decision they will get from court additional time to complete the administrative process 🤷‍♂️.

You could use now, the issue is if it makes sense to sue now.

 

Obviously a subjective call.

If it's IB1 then are you adjusting? That's a more complex route so I'm not surprised it's taking longer.

 

As Boiler said, you can file anytime you want. It is just likely to be a waste of money if you file too early and get it dismissed.

I also worry, will not waste money. My opinion is if they would like to make a negative decision, they will make it in 6,8 months, year or two years! For example: If I will wait a year or two years I think it’s not guaranteed to get approval note. 
 from whom I get dismissed, From court or The US embassy?

From the court. And it can still take a year or two, but the visa be granted. Again, it's not the decision that takes this long, it's the background checks that have to be completed to get to the point where they can actually make a decision. They just need time to go through the process.

Believe what you want, I've seen cases in AP for 2+ years. It is far too early for WoM, you will be forcing them to make a decision and if they aren't done with all the background checks for AP, you'll end up being denied.

To be honest, sometimes thinking to get bad news if it will be timely. I faced serious hardship to waiting this process! 
I think this process means they don’t like people and would not like to receive legal people!
