2022 parents sponsorship, security screening 20 months, Is Mandamus effective?

[katezhu]

My dad's file is in security screening since Dec 2023. He had several years of conscript over 50 years ago in China.
I want to apply for Mandamus for my parents' application.
Can anyone share the effectiveness of Mandamus?

Highly specific. Suggest you speak to a lawyer.

That said: while 2 1/2 years for PGP may seem long, my understanding is it's not that long actually. If not excessively long, mandamus tends to be unsuccessful - or in other words, 'this may be long, but it's not exceptionally long processing time' is actually a working defence for the IRCC.

I am preparing Mandamus by myself. I will wait for a while to submit Mandamus.

Please advise how long is the excessively long enough to submit Mandamus?

I do not know. I believe a lawyer would have a better idea.

Hence the suggestion above.
