Federal Immigration Litigation

When the government unreasonably delays or unlawfully denies an immigration benefit, the federal courts can provide relief. Both Rajesh Prasad and Bindi Parikh handle federal immigration litigation.

Mandamus Lawsuits for Delayed Cases

A writ of mandamus is a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court asking the court to compel a government agency to act on a case that has been unreasonably delayed. When USCIS, the Department of State, or another agency sits on a petition or application well beyond normal processing times, a mandamus action can prompt a decision.

Habeas Corpus & Other Federal Actions

We also pursue habeas corpus petitions and Administrative Procedure Act claims in the federal District Courts and, where appropriate, appeals to the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals. Our litigation practice focuses on holding the agencies accountable to the law.

Is Litigation Right for Your Case?

We evaluate each matter carefully before recommending suit. Federal litigation is a powerful tool, but it is not appropriate for every case. We will give you an honest assessment of whether your delay is unreasonable enough to support an action.
