Enterline and Co-Counsel Obtain More I-829 Petition Approvals from Writ of Mandamus Action against USCIS

On October 6^th and 7^th, 2022, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) approved two more Form I-829, Petitions by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status (“I-829 Petition”) because of filings in Federal Court seeking Writs of Mandamus. The approvals came less than 2 months after filing a complaint in Federal Court.

On August 11, 2022, Mr. Enterline of Enterline and Partners, working with co-counsel in the United States, filed a complaint in Federal Court for multiple EB-5 investors waiting for action on their I-829 Petitions. The law suit was filed against the Department of Homeland Security, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) and requested the Court to issue a Writ of Mandamus ordering the USCIS to take action on the investor’s I-829 Petitions.

On notice that the complaint had been filed, it is apparent that the USCIS made the decision to adjudicate some of the I-829 Petitions included in the complaint, and it subsequently approved some of them. Interestingly, the U.S. attorney has not yet filed its formal response to the complaint. It has 60 days to do so. This demonstrates the effectiveness of filing for Writs of Mandamus.

If the other I-829 Petitions are not expeditiously approved, they may be subject to further Court or agency processing. See more. We hope that USCIS will continue to move to quickly review and approve I-829 Petitions.

Writ of Mandamus actions are being filed by hundreds if not thousands of investors right now. With the lack of manpower at IPO, if you are not filing a complaint with the Federal Court for a Writ of Mandamus, it is possible that your petition will fall further to the back of the processing line.

Can My Child Come With Me on a U.S. Immigrant Visa?

When you are a parent with plans to immigrate to the United States, one of the most important questions may be whether your child can come with you. The answer depends on many factors such as the visa category, your child’s age, his/her marital status, and your relationship to the person who is petitioning you to immigrate to the United States. In some immigration categories, an unmarried child under twenty-one (21) years old can qualify as a derivative beneficiary and immigrate through the parents without having a separate immigrant petition filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) submitted on their behalf. At Enterline and Partners, our U.S. immigration attorneys help individuals and families in Vietnam and the Philippines understand how their children fit into K-1 fiancé(e) visa, family-based, EB-3 employment, EB-5 investor, and other immigration cases.

How to Prove a Bona Fide Marriage for a U.S. Spousal Visa

Applying for a U.S. visa based on marriage, commonly known as a Spousal visa, requires more than showing that you are legally married. The U.S. government must also be satisfied that you entered into the marriage in good faith and not primarily to obtain an immigration benefit. For couples living in different countries, proving the relationship can require careful documentation. You may not have a joint lease, shared utility bills or other records that couples living together commonly have. Instead, your evidence may need to show how the relationship developed, stayed connected and how your lives have become intertwined despite the distance. Understanding what counts as bona fide marriage evidence for a U.S. Spousal Visa can help you prepare a stronger case and reduce the risk of questions later in the process. If you have questions about the evidence needed for your U.S. Spousal visa case, our U.S. immigration attorneys

What is the NVC and What Happens After USCIS Approval? (2026 Guide)

Having an immigrant petition approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) is an important milestone, but for many applicants living outside the United States, it is not the end of the immigration process. Following USCIS approval, the case moves to the National Visa Center (“NVC”) which is under the Department of State (“DOS”). The NVC processing involves creating a case number, paying visa application fees, collecting and submitting documentation and waiting for the case to be transferred to a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. At Enterline and Partners, our U.S. immigration attorneys represent clients in Asia through the different stages of the immigration process, including family-based immigration cases, K-1 fiancé(e) visa cases, and EB-5 immigrant investor cases. In this guide, we will walk you through what happens after USCIS approval, what to expect from NVC processing and how to prepare for the consular processing stage of your case.
