USCIS said that everyone would be interviewed, but that never happened. Now, imagine if Kamala, because she is afraid of political backlash, had used her platform as VP, to rehash the same Republican talking points used during the Trump presidency to discourage refugees and asylum seekers (those already in the U.S.) from seeking asylum. Unfortunately, most asylum seekers face delay at every step of the process. Take care, Jason. I think that message is standard.

In a mandamus lawsuit, you sue the Asylum Office and ask a federal judge to order the Asylum Office to do its job (i.e., process your case). Typically, you ask the judge to continue the case until the I-130 is approved, and then you try to terminate the court case so you can get your GC through USCIS.

And if you do concur, would you also agree that the U.S. should change its asylum laws, and perhaps scrap the defensive asylum system and only consider asylum seekers who come by way of air or airplanes?
