STIPULATION TO DISMISS; AND

[PROPOSED] ORDER

The petitioner, by and through his attorneys of record, and the respondents, by and through their

attorneys of record, hereby stipulate to dismissal of the above-captioned case because the Federal

Bureau of Investigation (FBI) completed its required name check investigation of the petitioner on

April 7, 2006, and the respondents have agreed to issue a decision on the petitioner’s application for

naturalization within 30 days of the filing of this stipulation.

1. The petitioner filed an application for naturalization with the Immigration and Naturalization

Service (now, the USCIS) on October 5, 1998.

2. The petitioner withdrew his naturalization application on July 11, 2000.

3. The petitioner filed a second application for naturalization with the INS on July 28, 2002. 

4. The USCIS submitted a request for a name check of the applicant from the FBI on December

14, 2002.

5. The petitioner was interviewed on his second naturalization application pursuant to 8 U.S.C. §

1446(b) on March 13, 2003.

6. The petitioner’s second naturalization application was denied on September 17, 2003, on the

grounds that the petitioner had not demonstrated an understanding of English and/or United States

history and government, and had not submitted sufficient evidence that he was unable to demonstrate

such an understanding because of a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment.

7. The petitioner filed a request for a hearing on the denial of his second naturalization application

(an N-336 Request For A Hearing On A Hearing On A Decision In Naturalization Proceedings)

pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1447(a), on October 3, 2003.

8. On or after the filing of his request for a hearing, the USCIS granted the petitioner’s N-648

Medical Certification for Disability Exception, which exempted the petitioner from the requirement of

demonstrating an understanding of English and/or United States history and government due to the

petitioner’s severe mental impairments.

9. The USCIS was prepared to issue a decision on the petitioner’s second naturalization

application on January 6, 2004, but was unable to do so due to the fact that the FBI had not completed

its required name check.

11. On March 15, 2006, the USCIS asked the FBI to expedite the processing of the petitioner’s

name check.

12. On April 7, 2006, the FBI completed its name check and has forwarded the result to the

USCIS.

13. The respondents agree to issue a decision on the petitioner’s second naturalization application

within 30 days and, if favorable, to promptly schedule the petitioner for an oath ceremony.

14. Each party shall bear its own costs and fees.
