Question 1

What does BoostMyCase do?

Accepted Answer

BoostMyCase helps you take action when your immigration case has been stuck for too long. We empower you to self-file a Writ of Mandamus—a powerful federal legal tool that forces USCIS to act on your long-pending application.

Since applications like Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status), Advance Parole (AP), and EAD do not offer premium processing, delays can feel endless. That's where BoostMyCase comes in—we help you create legal pressure that gets your case moving.

Our platform walks you through the entire process step by step, with court-ready templates, personalized instructions, and easy-to-follow checklists.

Once filed, this typically leads to one of the following outcomes:

- Adjudication of your case,

- A Request for Evidence (RFE), or

- Another formal response from USCIS.

It's a smart, streamlined way to move your case forward—built for everyday people, no legal background needed.

Question 2

What is a mandamus lawsuit?

Accepted Answer

A mandamus lawsuit is a legal action that compels a government agency (like USCIS) to make a decision on a pending case. It's filed in federal court when an agency has unreasonably delayed action on your case.

Question 3

Will USCIS retaliate or hold it against me if I file a WOM?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Filing a Writ of Mandamus is a protected legal right. It cannot be used against you now or in the future. USCIS must still decide your case fairly on its merits — just as they would for any other applicant. Thousands of immigrants have filed WOM successfully without consequences. With BoostMyCase, you’re not taking a risk — you’re taking control. (And remember: if USCIS doesn’t respond in 75 days, you get your money back.

Question 4

How does the money-back guarantee work?

Accepted Answer

Our tailored Writ of Mandamus petitions are designed to prompt USCIS to take action on your case, typically resulting in adjudication or a formal response such as an RFE (Request for Evidence). If USCIS provides no response to your case after filing, we will refund your payment—simple as that.

Question 5

How long does USCIS have to respond after I file?

Accepted Answer

By law, USCIS typically has 60 days to respond to a mandamus lawsuit after being served. However, we provide a 75-day guarantee to account for any potential delays in service or response.

Question 6

What documents will I receive?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive a complete litigation packet including: a complaint form, civil cover sheet, filing instructions, mailing instructions, and a checklist. All documents are pre-filled with your information and ready to file.

Question 7

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Our service costs $699, which is a one-time fee. This does not include the federal court filing fee (typically $405) which you'll pay directly to the court when filing.

Question 8

What if USCIS doesn't respond within 75 days?

Accepted Answer

If USCIS doesn't respond within 75 days of your filing (as evidenced by court filed Proof of Service), you're eligible for a full refund of our $699 service fee. Simply request the refund through your dashboard.

Question 9

Do I need a lawyer for this?

Accepted Answer

No, our service is designed for Pro Se litigants (people representing themselves). However, we always recommend consulting with an attorney if you have complex legal questions or concerns.

Question 10

What cases are eligible for mandamus?

Accepted Answer

For green card applications, we recommend waiting at least 1 year from the receipt date. For Advance Parole (AP) and EAD, a 6-month wait from the receipt date is typically sufficient.

Question 11

How do I prove USCIS received my filing?

Accepted Answer

After filing with the court, you'll mail the documents to USCIS via USPS certified mail with delivery confirmation. You'll then upload this Proof of Service from the court to our dashboard to start the 75-day countdown.

Question 12

What happens after USCIS responds?

Accepted Answer

Once USCIS responds, they typically either approve your case, request additional evidence, or schedule an interview. You should upload their response to your dashboard for our records.

Question 13

Can I track my refund eligibility?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Your dashboard shows the exact date when you become eligible for a refund (75 days after proof of delivery). If USCIS hasn't responded by then, you can request your refund directly from the dashboard.
