Citizenship Delay Lawsuit

A female Muslim physician, who immigrated to the United States through her employer and had been a lawful permanent resident since 2011, experienced a two year delay in her citizenship application.  USCIS initially fingerprinted her twice and scheduled her interview, but then cancelled her interview without explanation.  After her interview was cancelled, she was unable to obtain any information as to the status of her application other than it was “pending security checks.”  The client was sworn in as a U.S. citizen within three months of filing a complaint for writ of mandamus.
