This is trueThings were pretty normal before Nov 2024
I know couple of people who filed Mandamus last year and had similar experience like yours , In fact one of them got response within 2 weeks after filing mandamus
Post Nov 2024 is crazy , no directions , no clarity
Look at my case , they have not responded within 60 days and looks like they do not even care
What do you mean by the lawyer disappeared? I thought there was a lawyer, a paralegal, and someone else working on our cases. Are none of them reachable? Is no one in the entire law firm responding to your case? Who is your lawyer?Turns out my attorney has totally disappeared,
Front desk office won't receive calls if i try to reach out to them, but if opt for "payment" , your call is received within seconds
Not sure way forward from here , its been more than 90 days now since mandamus was filed
Are you sure he filed the mandamus?Turns out my attorney has totally disappeared,

mandamus is a 2 way process and the lawsuit usually only proceeds after the ofiice director is unable to sch your interview using his discretion, also dont you have any receipt? Who paid government fees, that should have been your card while u pay the attny fees seperate.Are you sure he filed the mandamus?
That’s what I thought I am sorryUpdate
A disastrous failure from attorney
I was finally able to get in touch with my attorney yesterday,
How did i make it happen ? Filed a complaint in Virginia State Bar, The state bar served him a notice and provided me a copy of it. My attorney immediately called me back
So what happened ? Why the delay ?
Lawyer "DID NOT" serve the summons issued by judge to USCIS, Yes, it is lawyer's responsibility to serve summons to USCIS and provide "Proof" to court
What was the excuse ? As per lawyer, he dropped the summons to his front desk to be mailed but somehow it did not go out and left under files ( I believe he is lying) , So he said he finally sent them out on March 5th , but i don't see any update on PACE / Federal court search portal
He tried to make it up and offered me free / pro-bono service for next step (Green Card / or if asylum is not approved then immigration court)
Let me share the name of that firm that literally wasted precious and most important time of my life,

I’m sorry to hear that. Fortunately, things are finally back to normal—thank goodness. I was worried about the effectiveness of mandamus……
I thought you were using Murray Osorio, but I might have been mistaken.
Please keep posting updates.
Any update? I wish you all the best.Update from today
The attorney sent out an official email to me taking responsibility at his end and offered to schedule my interview ASAP since he claimed to be in good relationship with government attorney, (Will see how that unfolds)
He further offered to take next step of Interview on him as pro-bono (free if we can say it)
If my interview outcome is granted asylum, he will take care of green card process as pro-bono , if outcome is immigration court removal proceedings, then he will take care of that as pro-bono (free)
Damage done, cannot undo the time so moving forward now
Many Lessons learned, and at mercy of extremely anti-immigrant Trump Administration Now
Nothing yet .... i got s receipt of court summons .... lets see now ... waitingAny update? I wish you all the best.
