Lawsuit Against Department Of Homeland Security And Others

Our client retained us as legal counsel in order to compel the USCIS to grant an Employment-Based Adjustment of Status (AOS) Application. The Plaintiff's case had been on file with USCIS almost three years before he sought our assistance.
Prior to filing the AOS application, Plaintiff filed an I-140 petition on his own behalf, which USCIS approved. The Plaintiff is a professor of science with extraordinary ability as defined under the first preference category of employment-based priority workers. We filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and others to compel these agencies to adjudicate Plaintiff's AOS application. The case was filed under the Mandamus and Administrative Procedure Acts.
