Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

n-400 naturalization process

hello. i have applied for a naturalization process on sep 11, 2006. on sep 28 i went for my fingerprinting. According ins website they are now processing applications with receipt dates as of january 12, 2007. Obviously, my application is overdue now. I called, wrote and tried by other means to find about my unexpected delay. all of my friends by now are citizens, even my brother- who applied at the saME TIME. I was told that FBI is conduction a bacground check and that INS is not allowed to rush them... How long can i wait and tolerate this? I can feel that my application was misplaced/lost by the FBI, but noone wants to give me a clear answer. Can lawyer help me to expedite the process?

Re: n-400 naturalization process

Yes, an involvement by an attorney can definitely help. You would need to go to federal court by filing a writ of mandamus, which forces the Government to act within a reasonable time on a pending application.

If you would like to discuss your options, feel free to contact us. Our firm has extensive experience litigating these types of cases in federal courts. Feel free to visit our website for more information.
