An EB-5 investor and their family had been waiting since August 2024 for their I-485 adjustment of status applications to be adjudicated — despite the underlying I-526E petition already being approved. After nearly a year and a half of silence, with no Requests for Evidence and no indication of any deficiency, WR Immigration determined the delay was unreasonable. On December 2, 2025, we filed a Writ of Mandamus in the United States District Court for the Central District of California to compel government action.
The result was swift and decisive: on January 8, 2026 — just over one month later — every family member’s I-485 was approved, without RFE. This case underscores how strategic federal litigation can transform indefinite delay into rapid resolution, providing certainty and accountability when USCIS processing timelines fail to reflect reality. At WR Immigration, we ensure immigration benefits are decided, not ignored.
