On November 14, 2016, Plaintiffs filed the instant action, seeking to compel adjudication 

of Plaintiffs’ immigrant visa petition and application. Service on the U.S. Attorney’s Office was 

perfected on December 21, 2016. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has reviewed 

Plaintiffs’ file, reaffirmed the visa petition, and transferred the file to the National Visa Center. 

The State Department is in the process of transferring Plaintiffs’ file to the appropriate consular 

post so that Plaintiff Almuharrak may be reinterviewed and have his visa application adjudicated 

once again. Presently, Defendants’ response is due February 21, 2017, and no previous 

extensions have been sought. The parties hereby stipulate to a 90-day extension to answer or 

otherwise respond to the complaint, until May 22, 2017. 

Dated: February 21, 2017
