@ChrisMcFisch So we only went to one immigration lawyer so far, and all he said was to wait to hear back and there was nothing much he could do unless we want to sue USCIS, which will also take time because they have so many legal actions against them as well. Our senator liaison just told us that our case is indeed in the local field office, and they are handling most of their backlogs so I will have to wait. He also suggested applying for citizenship.

Yeah, unfortunately, it is the same pattern. I read on some other forum some people who submitted their cases in 2021 and 2022 already got approved, which pisses me off... Why aren't they looking at cases in 2019?? Same here. Naturalization is not an option for me because I can't hold dual citizenship... Here is an article on how you can submit the Mandamus yourself. Hope this helps.

Hi Chris, I'm still waiting as well.. submitted 751 since Nov 2019.. got an update on Oct 2022 stating that they used the biometrics. nothing since then.. like you we did everything from submitting request online, to asking help from senators, to seeking a lawyer's advice.. nothing worked.. all they do is ask you why don't you apply for citizenship when you already can? And to wait... The latest I-551 stamp I got is on a i-94 paper.. which is another joke.. Our case was originally sent to NBC then transferred to local office and now it's just sitting there building spider webs.. I doubt they are doing anything about it at all.. I'm tempted to do the mandamus but we don't have 5-10k sitting around just for this.. sorry that this won't be much of help.. just me venting as well.. if you're looking to travel, the i551 stamp will get you back in the country.. I've used them a few times traveling now..
