__________________________________________)

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

application for naturalization. Defendants respectfully inform the Court that plaintiff Kaur’s

application is currently pending clearance by the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Under current

protocol, all applications for naturalization are routed through the FBI for name and fingerprint

checks, a process over which the named agency, Citizenship and Immigration Services has no

control. Once the FBI has cleared the application, 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 joint motion to dismiss the

case as moot. An expedite request has been placed with the FBI. The typical time frame required

by that agency for completion of the name and background check is 60 days from the date of the

expedite request. Defendantstherefore request an extension until May 22, 2007. This is defendants’

first request for an extension in this case.
