N-400 aaplicants received approval after mandamus actions filed

Our recent mandamus actions(filed in 1/2008 and 5/2008) clients have received recommended(received ceremony notice on July 1, 2008) approval after their interview. The January case is our first mandamus case for client whose N-400 has been pending for close to two years without interview due to FBI name check. As we reported earlier, CIS filed motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Judge Illston of Northern District of California denied the motion and our motion for summary judgment is set for July 25, 2008. Client was interviewed on June 20, and is expected to take the oath in the next three weeks. Our second case, with similar facts, was filed in May and client was interviewed yesterday. She also received recommended approval.

We have since filed three more similar cases.
