Are naturalization cases the same as adjustment of status cases?
Although the issues are a little bit different, a mandamus case can be filed for a long-pending naturalization applicant just as for a long-pending adjustment of status applicant.There are special provisions available if the naturalization applicant was interviewed and if no decision was made on the application for more than 120 days following the interview.In that event, the federal court judge can be requested to not only order USCIS to adjudicate the application but actually to have the federal court judge hold a hearing and decide the naturalization application.
