Admin Processing for almost 3 years now

[Tay123 4]

hello all,

 

parents had there i-130 interview, they are from a MENA country, my mom got approved and visa issued rather quickly at that time, but my father has been in AP for almost 3 years now, no updates from the consulate and it seems if we email them there is no clear response. 

 

Writ of Mandamus time or keep waiting? Doesnt make sense as they both had there interview jointly.

Without knowing the specific MENA country, my opinion is that I would think 3 years is long enough for AP from almost any country in that region and WoM is appropriate at this time.

what are chances of WoM being successful? if the consulate doesnt have enough processing done they can just say that and deny it correct? or how does it work

I don't know enough about the end results of a WoM directed at the embassy if they feel they have not finished on their end.... Maybe others on here would know.

WoM only forces them to render a decision. If they feel their checks aren't done yet, they can deny.

I would image getting security from Afganistan is difficult and may need extended time 

but as its been 2 years and 5 months , i would think about the WOM

 

you should check the court and attorney fees to see if this is feasible for u

In addition, while some checks are pending, other checks can expire and need to be redone.

so WoM is sort of 50/50, is it possible the court could be like, this is taking too long and checks should take this long and approve it?
