Greetings All,
Just wanted to start a Mena DS-5535 Forum, as it seems tons of people here go through this process and have no platform to vent. I am not sure how deep this rabbit hole will go but I hope this will become a venue everyone can talk and vent and retain information lost with those throughout this process. As of right now, here is my timeline everybody:
I hope you all gain something from this:

We had started the process to file a Writ of Mandamus after 40 days and spent $4000.00. We used Morrison-URENA.
There is a Telegram Group called 'mandamus_ap' on Telegram if you give it a search that has a list of verified lawyers to give you some additional guidance that I highly recommend. Although I cannot provide the link here, you can type what I put in bold and the group will pop up.
As for now. Lets see where this goes everyone.
My fiance and I have 10 days left until the Gov't has to respond so wish us luck!
