WR Immigration law firm is excited to share one of the fastest EB-5 success stories we have seen: Client achieved approval of both their I-526E EB-5 Investor petition and conditional green card within just five and a half months. This result showcases how strategic legal action, including filing a Writ of Mandamus (WOM) can help clients move their cases forward.
Facts
In April 2025, our EB-5 investor client concurrently filed their Form I-526E (Regional Center Investor Petition) and Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status). Like many EB-5 investors, they faced uncertainty about how long their case might take and were worried about the inevitable retrogression.
Then on September 5, 2025, the client’s I-526E petition was approved but the I-485 adjustment application remained pending.
Taking Action with a Writ of Mandamus
Recognizing that further delay could result in being stuck in a long waiting line, Client retained WR Immigration on September 22, 2025, to file a Writ of Mandamus (a federal court action that compels USCIS to act on unreasonably delayed cases). Our litigation team moved quickly, filing the case in three days. Just over two weeks later, on October 14, 2025, USCIS approved the conditional green cards.
A Record-Setting Outcome
Here Client completed the entire EB-5 process, from I-526E filing to green card approval, in less than 6 months. We hear stories of clients waiting many years but our client got their green card in under 6 months.. That’s an unheard-of turnaround time in the EB-5 world!
This outcome highlights the power of an assertive legal strategy and demonstrates how mandamus litigation can be a highly effective tool when USCIS delays threaten to stall a client’s immigration journey.
