I invested in an EB-5 regional center and applied to remove my conditional green card I-829 more than three years ago. Two investors in the same project were approved after taking mandamus action. Will that help me and other investors in terms of timing, or should I do mandamus action like them myself?

However, this is not the case, especially when most of them seem to be working from home and in their own silos. Perhaps your attorney could put in an inquiry on your case and notify them there were two approvals in the same project. The most assured way to move your case would be to file a mandamus yourself.
