betaMichigan said:Hello people!
I am a benificary for an I-130 petition, my US citizen wife is the the petitioner. The California service Center has gone approving petitions 2 years after ours was filed, while our remains unadjudicated.
We have filed several inquiries ourselves, through our senator, congressmen. We even contacted thte USCIS Ombudsman and they USCIS still has not done anything to approve our petition. We keep getting a generic response tha our petition is pending and we will get get a response once the processing is complete.
We are debating filing WOM as its been two years now. I have contacted our attorney. He is asking for 5000 dollars to file the writ and is saying that the writ needs to filed in California (as petition is pending there) and in michigan ( as we reside therE).
I thought that WOM can be filed where the 'plaintiff' resides which is michigan. I would appreciate any help regarding this!
My questions are:
1. is the WOM filed in both California and michigan or can we just file in Michigan?
I think you only need to file at one place. In legal terms it is call Venue.
Check out my previous post

2. If the petition is approved before trial do I still pay the lawyer 5000 dollarS?
This is between you and your lawyer. In my opinion, You should ask him for a fee schedule. So you will pay him along the way at each milestone. If it never
went to trial, you shouldn't have to pay him the full amount. Again, this is something you have to work out with your lawyer.
3. Any chances the USCIS can hold a grudge against me and deny our application?
Anything is possible. With that said, I doublt they will. The problem here is that they don't care. To them, you are just a number, deny or approve you means they will have to work on your case, and deny you will most likly create more work for them, which is not what they want, unless they have a really good reason.
I would be much obliged for any help! the awesome gurus of WOMs on this website can provide us!
thanks!
hayyyoot said:Hey LAmor;
I don't know how liberal Connicticut's District court is, however, if the court remanded your case back to the USCIS, you really don't lose anything, it means that they will desregard your lawsuit and let everything go as usual, this happened in few cases, most cases get solved even before they reached the court, you have an excellent chance to get it because you waited very long. However, what I wanted you to remember is that nothing is guaranteed, the judge is supposed to be fair, I hope he/ she will be so.
On the other hand, if you didn't sue, you might have to wait for six years or more, litterally, many Arabs have been waiting since before 9/11.

Please answer all 3 issues if you can.
Thanks ALL

I think I have all the evidence that I need, to file. I'm waiting for FOIA request -giving them 20 days to work on it.
How important is it to have it as evidence? Or this is just to make sure that my record is clean?
Does FOIA request help with name check processing?
Do they think they are looking at the same records as for the name check ?
Thank you for any help,

It is optional. You don't need it for 1447b petition. Don't waste time. File 1447b as soon as you can.
