__________________________________________)

This is an immigration case in which plaintiff has filed to challenge U.S. Citizenship and

Immigration Services’ (CIS) failure to timely adjudicate her naturalization application and to seek

de novo review of this application. The delay in the agency adjudication of the application was in

the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ (FBI) processing of the background name check. As of the

time of this filing, the name check is now complete, and the agency is prepared to adjudicate the

application. Because of the jurisdictional posture of the case, the agency cannot complete that

process until the case is remanded with instructions to CIS. 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b). Accordingly, the

parties jointly agree that the case should be remanded with instructions to complete adjudication of

the case within 60 days from the date of the order of remand. In the event CIS fails to timely

complete this adjudication, the parties agree that jurisdiction will revert to this Court, and a

scheduling conference will take place as soon as possible.
