    Exactly. This is the same thing I was told. USPS is just the method that one can use to serve. It's not the server. Anyone can serve through this method except one of the parties in the case. I just read over the cover sheet that I received directly from the court and it specifically says this.

    Hopefully. Keep us posted.

    I already did that. Your friends and family can mail it to them via first class mail. You cannot. As an involved party, you are not able to have them served. If it worked for you, you were very lucky. Because you did it incorrectly. As I said, I got this information directly from my federal clerk AND the Federal US attorney's office in my area. Who is more likely to be right? You or them? Plus, like that poster said, every online source proves you wrong. Please stop spreading misinformation. People might be taking your incorrect information and it will hurt them. This will be especially detrimental with the new administration, which will look for every reason to deny applications.

    You're asserting that you can mail them on your own, which you can't. And, yes, you can have family and friends serve them. To anyone reading this, I urge you to talk to your US attorney or federal court clerk about this. Do not rely on people in these groups.

    Yeah hopefully. But I'm an impatient pessimist. So I sued instead of waiting lol

    You really should go on Jim Hacking's livestream and ask about your situation. That seems way too long to me. Especially given the election results, if you need to sue, you should probably do it sooner rather than later.

    This is exactly the issue. The person who created this thread is blatantly wrong with their advice, despite creating a guide (and this was backed up by not only my local federal court, but by the US attorney's office). You can't have the defendants served on your own and you can have family and friends serve them. For anyone that has questions about this, feel free to go to your US attorney's office and ask them yourself. Don't rely on random people on internet forums. Good on you, lincclay, for pushing back against that misinformation and best of luck with your pro se mandamus!

    You can't. I attempted to file a Mandamus on my own at first and talked to people at the clerk's office from the federal court near me. Getting information was like pulling teeth, but they told me that you can't serve them on your own. I also spoke with the US attorney's office and they (much more readily) told me the same thing. This revelation is ultimately one of the things that convinced me to hire a lawyer. I'm not sure I believe many of the self-filed Mandamus stories online now. For me, it wasn't worth it to file the lawsuit and wait 2 months only to have the lawsuit dismissed on a technicality. I decided to just spend the money and have the peace of mind in knowing that everything is being filed correctly.
  9. Willie_Overall
    Nope. Hired a lawyer and filed a Mandamus. So I should hear something within the next 2 months.

    Just an update. My original case fell off the google search results for some reason. If you just type in my name, it doesn't come up anymore. I did hire a lawyer and they filed a few days ago. That only comes up if you put in my last name and the parties that we're suing. So just googling me has absolutely nothing about this now.

    I actually went to them in person. They didn't even try. They basically just looked at the USCIS online processing times and said I need to wait to that date (not the 15.5 month mark, the date they give you on the site where you put in your PD date). Two different offices did this to me. Unfortunately, after talking to Emma and the politicians' offices, you are considered within normal processing time until you get to that inquiry date. The 15.5 month mark is only when 80% of the cases are completed. And, yes, a WOM will do something. It will either force them to make a decision or they'll file a motion to dismiss. I researched this a ton and I've yet to see a motion to dismiss filed in a CR1/IR1 case in USCIS. K1 in USCIS? Yes. CR1/IR1 at the NVC/embassy level? Yes. But not CR1/IR1 at the USCIS level. This was reaffirmed when I spoke with Jim Hacking (who I find to be brutally honest). Anyway, we're just about to hit the 15 month mark in a few days anyway. They have 60 days to respond upon being served. In all likelihood, they won't even respond (and may not even be served) by the time we hit the 15.5 month mark.

    Yeah, sorry to hear that, man. It's crazy that you have to go through this even though you've been exonerated (personally, I think these kinds of laws are far too overreaching to begin with). It's also crazy that you've had to wait over 2 years and file a lawsuit just to get an answer from them. It's likely that, if you took no action, they would have just kept you waiting indefinitely. Hopefully, you'll just be able to send whatever document they want and they'll just approve it. What are your options if they end up denying your petition? Appeal?
  13. Willie_Overall
    Thanks for the update! I had bad experiences with the politicians in my district so I went the Mandamus route. I hired a lawyer and they should be filing within the next week or 2.
  14. Willie_Overall
    Damn, sorry to hear that. What makes you think you're getting a NOID as opposed to a RFE?
  15. Willie_Overall
    Sorry to hear that. Definitely keep us posted.
  16. Willie_Overall
    Glad to hear that things are starting to move for you! Definitely keep us posted if and when your USCIS case is finally resolved.
  17. Willie_Overall
    Any updates?
  18. Willie_Overall
    Sorry to hear all of that, man. Any updates? It should be around 60 or more days since you filed the WoM by now.
  19. Willie_Overall
    Anything yet? We're still waiting too. July 28.
  20. Willie_Overall
    Obviously. I was responding to that poster's question.
  21. Willie_Overall
    Yeah, I definitely messed up. I already filed it based on templates I found online. Pretty sure it's wrong and I proceeded too quickly without adequately understanding what I was doing. I wasn't aware of the lack of anonymity until afterwards. So my information is all out there. I definitely feel like this is done intentionally by the courts to dissuade people from filing lawsuits. Our information should not be so easily available simply because we filed a lawsuit. The upside is that I guess I could just file as many lawsuits as it takes to get it right. My information is already public. Might as well just keep going.
  22. Willie_Overall
    Like sexual assault cases, domestic violence, things like that. That's what I've found online anyway.
  23. Willie_Overall
    Did you find any more information about this? It seems like you can only file anonymously if you have (what the court deems) a very strong reason.
  24. Willie_Overall
    They have been. Look at the immigration timeline and the CR1/IR1 Facebook group. Still no peep on our end though.
  25. Willie_Overall
    I didn't use a form. I drew up a court case after doing a lot of research online. Definitely could have messed some things up. The clerks at my district court told me I had to do more things (without officially telling me since they aren't allowed to do that). That's why I'm thinking about hiring a lawyer. This is more complicated than I have time for and I just want to be done with it.
