Due to various unique historical, legal, etc. criteria, we have a group of people here who have determined that they should qualify for the issuance of "US national non-citizen passports." (The issuance of such passports, and general qualifying criteria are outlined in Dept. of State Foreign Affairs Manuals, Series 7.)
Here where we live in Asia, however, the local United States embassy/consulate refuses to accept the applications (which is form DS-11). They also refuse to give us any paperwork regarding their "opinion" and their "non-action." We are tired of trying to argue with the consular officials. A law student from the USA suggested that we need is to file a writ of mandamus against the Secretary of State in the appropriate court in Washington, D.C.
Our own background research on this subject is actually quite extensive. But how could we find a suitable attorney? We do not live in the USA.
What would this cost? We definitely want to raise the money.
