How will the EB-5 RC program lapse impact me if I filed an EB-5 Writ of Mandamus in March?

I made a Writ of Mandamus in late March but I still have no answer on my I-526. Does the July 1 shutdown affect me?

Not clear yet, but they may be sitting on these cases until re-authorization from Congress.

The July 1 shutdown impacts all regional center I-526 petitions. Hopefully, when congress returns from its vacation, we will get another short extension until September 30, 2021, when we expect a better bill to be reviewed.

It is likely that the government will base at least part of its opposition to your court filing on the fact that the EB-5 regional center program has sunset and has not yet been reauthorized. Once the program is reauthorized, you should be able to overcome any such opposition.

It seems to me that the end of the program makes your petition moot.
