__________________________________________)

Plaintiff has filed a complaint alleging that defendants have failed to timely process his

application for naturalization, pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b). Defendants respectfully inform the

Court that plaintiff Singh’s application is currently pending clearance by the Federal Bureau of

Investigation. Under current protocol, all applications for naturalization are routed through the FBI

for security checks, a process over which the named agency, Citizenship and Immigration Services

has no control. Once the FBI has completed the security checks, CIS resumes the processing of the

application in the most expedited manner possible. 

Because plaintiff’s application is currently pending at the FBI, defendants request an

extension of time in which to either file an answer to the complaint or a motion to remand to the

agency with instructions to complete adjudication of the application. An expedite request has been

placed with the FBI. Defendants expect this expedited security check to be completed within an

additional 60 days, and therefore request an extension until August 10, 2007. This is defendants’

first request for an extension in this case.
