Mandamus suits

[jnraajan]

Guys

I have a question. Why is it that no one, including AILA, considered filing a lawsuit asking USCIS to do their jobs.

In this world of retrogression and uncertainity, USCIS is processing very slowly. If they can use all 140,000 visa numbers and the recaputre numbers from 1999-2000 (I think it is around 220,000), we might not have this problem here today.

We are not asking them to make any changes to law or administrative fixes. All we are asking is that they do their jobs efficiently. So, why is it no organization has tried this? or has this been tried before and failed..

Actually, that is not true. USCIS is part of US Govt. That is true. But, the department is run exclusively on the funds generated by receipt fees. So, they do have a responsibility towards us. dont you think

[jonty_11]

how do you know its run by funding generating from immi fees? any links?

Even so; not being a Vote bank is the reason we cannot do anyting here. Plus we are not united enough to generate enough funds or show enough economic impact (i.e. make our case) with lawmakers to get USCIS to clean up their act. IV is our best chance.

This has been tried before by Rajiv Khanna and it was unsuccessful
