Case of B.A.

B was an EB-5 investor and had been waiting 5 years for his I-829 condition removal petition to be adjudicated. In the meanwhile, he submitted a naturalization application (N-400). But USCIS refused to schedule his naturalization interview until his I-829 was approved. We filed a mandamus lawsuit against USCIS, and 2 months later, his I-829 petition was approved. A few weeks later, USCIS scheduled his naturalization interview.
