This is an immigration case in which Plaintiff alleges that Defendants United States 

Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has failed to make a determination on his 

application for naturalization within 120 days as required by statute. 8 U.S.C. § 1447(b). That

novo or remand the matter to the agency with instructions to adjudicate. The parties now 

stipulate to the latter, with instructions that USCIS adjudicate within 30 days from the date of the 

Court order.

In the event the adjudication is a denial of naturalization, the parties as well stipulate that 

jurisdiction will revert to this Court pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1421(c), following exhaustion of 

administrative remedies. The parties will promptly file a status report in such event.
