Naturalization Service). His application remains pending at the USCIS office in Mesquite, 1

Texas. On March 12, 2010, Mr. Dhariwal filed a complaint for writ mandamus and declaratory

and injunctive relief to compel the completion and immediate release of Mr. Dhariwal’s criminal

background check results; declare Defendants’ failure to adjudicate Mr. Dhariwal’s I-485

application filed by to be a violation of INA § 209(a), 8 U.S.C. § 1159(a), 8 C.F.R. § 1209.2, the

Administrative Procedure Act, and 28 U.S.C. § 1361; and order the USCIS to immediately

adjudicate Mr. Dhariwal’s I-485 application. Subsequently, the USCIS San Francisco Asylum

Office (“Asylum Office”) issued a Notice of Intent to Terminate Asylum Status and scheduled an

interview for May 13, 2010. On April 26, 2010, Mr. Dhariwal requested copies of all evidence

underlying USCIS’s intent to terminate Mr. Dhariwal’s asylum status and requested that his

asylum termination interview be postponed for at least 30 days. Pursuant to Plaintiff’s request,

the Asylum Office then sent Mr. Dhariwal a notice cancelling the scheduled interview until

further notice in order to allow Mr. Dhariwal to obtain and review the evidence underlying the

Notice of Intent to Terminate his asylum status. 

On July 2, 2010, the Asylum Office issued a second Notice of Intent to Terminate, setting

an interview date of August 19, 2010.
