My EB-5 petition on Form I-526 was filed at the California Service Center several years ago. My project and regional center are located in a different state, and I am currently living outside of the United States. In this case, to which court would I file a mandamus petition?

Immigration AttorneysShould you wish to file a mandamus petition in a U.S. District Court, you would file it in the U.S. District Court that has jurisdiction. Your case is somewhat unusual, but most likely you would file where the project and regional center are located.
