Attorney Arif Gozel has dedicated his career to one mission: forcing the government to act when they've left your immigration case in limbo. With over a decade of federal litigation experience, he fights for families, workers, and individuals stuck in the system.
Early in my career, I saw the same story over and over: good people — families, professionals, asylum seekers — trapped in an immigration system that had simply stopped responding. They'd done everything right. Filed the applications. Paid the fees. Showed up for every appointment. And then... silence. Months of silence. Years of silence.
I realized that the standard tools — phone calls to USCIS, service requests, congressional inquiries — weren't enough for truly stuck cases. The only language the government consistently responds to is a federal lawsuit. That's when things move.
As a full-service immigration attorney, I handle a wide range of cases — from family-based petitions and employment visas to naturalization and asylum. But what sets my practice apart is my deep expertise in mandamus litigation. I am one of the leading mandamus lawyers in America, having filed hundreds of federal lawsuits against USCIS, the State Department, and other agencies to force action on unreasonably delayed cases. When the system fails my clients, I know exactly how to hold the government accountable.
Every case I take is personal to me. I understand the stress of immigration uncertainty because I come from an immigrant family myself. I know what it feels like to have your life on hold while you wait for a government bureaucracy to remember you exist. That's why I fight so hard for every client — because I know what's at stake isn't just paperwork. It's people's lives.
If your case is stuck, I want to hear from you. The consultation is free, and I'll tell you honestly whether a mandamus lawsuit can help your situation.

"After waiting 22 months for our marriage green card with no updates, we hired Gozel Law Firm. Within 5 weeks of filing the mandamus, our interview was scheduled and the green card was approved. We wish we had done this a year earlier."
"Mr. Gozel was incredibly professional and responsive. He explained the entire process clearly and kept us informed every step of the way. Our naturalization case that had been stuck for 8 months was resolved in just 4 weeks after filing."
"I was stuck in 221(g) administrative processing at the Ankara embassy for over a year. Gozel Law Firm filed a mandamus and the processing was completed in 5 weeks. I'm now in the United States with my family. Thank you!"
