ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

(JFLC1)

I-485. At the same time, her mother filed to register as a permanent resident, as a derivative

beneficiary of an approved immigration petitioner. On May 31, 2006, her mother was granted

permanent resident alien status, but Plaintiff was advised that her application is still pending

because the FBI name check has not been completed. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants are in

violation of the Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. § 701 et seq., because they are

unlawfully withholding or unreasonably delaying action on Plaintiff’s I-485 application and have

not fulfilled the adjudicative functions delegated to them by law. 

Plaintiff requests that this Court issue an order directing Defendants to adjudicate

Plaintiff’s application immediately, awarding reasonable attorney’s fees pursuant to the Equal

Access to Justice Act, and granting other equitable relief. Good cause therefore appearing, IT IS

HEREBY ORDERED as follows:

(1) The Clerk of the Court shall serve by certified mail a copy of the petition and a

copy of this Order upon counsel for Defendants, the Office of the United States Attorney. The

Clerk of the Court also shall serve a copy of this Order upon Plaintiff’s counsel, Justin X. Wang.

(2) Defendants shall, within sixty (60) days after receiving service of the petition, file

and serve upon Plaintiff an answer, showing cause why the relief prayed for should not be

granted. At the time the answer is filed, Defendants shall lodge with the Court all records

relevant to a determination of the issues presented by the complaint. If Defendants contend that

Plaintiff has failed to exhaust administrative remedies as to any ground for relief asserted in the

complaint, Defendants shall specify what administrative remedy remains available to Plaintiff. If

Defendants waive or concede the issue of exhaustion, Defendants shall so state in their answer. 

(3) Plaintiff may file a response to the matters raised in the answer within thirty (30)

days after receiving the answer. 

(4) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the matter will be deemed submitted upon

the filing of the response or upon the expiration of time to file a response.

(5) The Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR deadlines

entered on June 12, 2006 in this action is hereby VACATED.
