Home > When Can I Sue Immigration (USCIS)?

Transcript

You have the right to sue the immigration department/USCIS if it is taking a long time, or longer than normal, to process your case. Many people ask if there are additional risks if they file a lawsuit against the immigration service. It is important to know that there are no additional risks if you file a lawsuit against immigration. Usually, the immigration department will process your case with much more care if you have a case in front of a Federal Judge.
