EB2-NIW-CP-AP-WoM(催辦令)時程分享 - 移民

一直受惠於版上資訊,以下借用前輩格式分享

時程,最後著重分享Writ of Mandamus (WoM)

lawsuit催辦令的經驗,因為版上較少人像我

一樣等太久就直接告美國政府機關:

版上似乎較少人有用Writ of Mandamus (WoM)

lawsuit催辦的經驗.根據我律師所述,任何申辦

簽證卡關(含AP)導致等太久沒下文時都能靠WoM

催辦,我律師"等太久"的定義:只要first action

date (e.g. I-140 priority date)超過一年前

就叫等太久.選擇WoM催辦的原因是這是我唯一

找到能用法律強迫有關的美國政府機關做出裁決

(通過或拒絕)的手段並設下死線(所有被告需在

被serve後60天內向法院申覆,而此時他們必需

給出明確原因,不能只說AP).我律師針對我的

IV case把以下這些人列為WoM的被告:

(1) William Barr
(Attorney General of the US)
(2) Ken Cuccinelli
(Acting Director of the USCIS)
(3) Deena Parker
(Consular Section Chief of the American Institute in Taiwan)
(4) Mike Pompeo
(Secretary of the US Department of State)
(5) Marik String
(Acting Legal Adviser of the US Department of State)
(6) Chad Wolf
(Acting Secretary, US Department of Homeland Security)
(7) Christopher A. Wray
(Director of FBI)

之所以把和我IV case相關的美國政府機關領導人

全列為被告,而不只是告AIT,是為了防止AIT甩鍋

給其他機關(e.g. AIT可以申覆說我的IV case卡在

FBI背景調查,而不是他們的問題),所以律師說明

他會告好告滿,一個都不放過.

就我個人經驗,在serve完WoM被告後一個月內IV

就核發,所以用法律手段的確有幫助,分享給版上

簽證卡關的人,如果等太久沒下文請考慮WoM.

祝大家案件早日核准通過!
