__________________________________________)

This is an immigration case in which petitioner Shun Yao, and derivatively, Florence Bouvet,

seeks to compel U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to adjudicate a pending application to

adjust status to that of Lawful Permanent Resident. Respondents Michael Chertoff, et al.,

respectfully requests a 45-day extension of time in which to file an answer to the complaint, until

August 4, 2006. The reason for this extension request is petitioner Yao’s application remains

pending name-check clearance at the Federal Bureau of Investigations. A cleared name-check is

required before respondent U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services can proceed with the

remaining steps of adjudication of the adjustment application. A request has been placed with the

Case 2:06-cv-00866-MCE -DAD Document 9 Filed 06/27/06 Page 1 of 2
Federal Bureau of Investigations to expedite the name-check, and the government expects this

process to be complete within 45 days. Accordingly, the government requests an extension of time

of 45 days in which to file the government’s answer. This is the government’s first extension request

in this case.
