Mandamus remains one of the most effective tools immigration attorneys have at their disposal. As USCIS and DOS delays result in separated families, loss of employment, and wasted visa numbers, it is critical that immigration lawyers are well equipped to file mandamus cases in federal court. During this advanced seminar, our panel of experts will cover the latest trends in district court decisions and Office of Immigration Litigation/U.S. attorney arguments for immigration-related mandamus actions.

Featured Topics:

  • Lawsuits Against DOS: Challenging Consular Delays in the COVID Era
  • Recent Trends with EAD, EB-5, and Diversity Visa Litigation
  • Recent Government Challenges to Venue and Joinder of Plaintiffs
  • Obtaining Emergency Relief: Temporary Restraining Orders and Injunctions
  • AILA and the American Immigration Council Resources
