A mandamus lawsuit requests a federal court judge to order the government to take action in a case.It does not and cannot request the judge to actually approve the case.If the judge believes that the delay is unreasonable, the judge may order the FBI to complete clearances and/or the USCIS to adjudicate the application within a specified period of time.Although the time specified by the judge may vary, it is often 30 to 90 days.
