Hey everyone,
My H-4 EAD is expiring at the end of this month, and I'm looking at filing a mandamus petition to address delays in my case. Before I move forward, I'd really like to hear from folks who've gone through this.
If you've filed a mandamus for H4-EAD, I'd love to hear about:
**•** What was your experience like?
**•** How long did the process take?
**•** Any pitfalls or things you wish you'd known going in?
**•** Any wins or smooth outcomes?
I know mandamus cases can be hit-or-miss depending on jurisdiction and circumstances, so both success stories and cautionary tales would be really helpful. Would be great to connect and share experiences.
Thanks in advance!

Both h4 and h4 ead had SRC receipt nos. Some time back it was in Texas, today when I checked it is in 2 different centers. Is it expected ?

I had filled the h1 (premium processing) +h4 + h4-ead on 05142026.
H1 receipt says IOE, it says California pp center approved it. But the h4 and h4-ead is sitting idle in Texas processing center.
The case never said it was transferred, just sitting as received. No biometrics either.
Has anoboy else had this same experience?
