Description:
An immigration writ of mandamus is a lawsuit filed in federal court to force the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or State Department to make a decision on an immigration case:

How it works
The lawsuit asks the court to issue an order compelling the government to act or refrain from acting as required by law. The government has 60 days to respond to the lawsuit.
Who can be named as a defendant
In addition to the USCIS or State Department, other agencies may be named as defendants, such as the FBI, US Consulates and Embassies, and other branches of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Why it's important
