stating that there were no more employment-based visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal

year, attached hereto as Exhibit A.

3. The State Department will not be issuing any more employment-based visas until

October 2007, and USCIS is unable by statute to adjudicate Plaintiff’s application for adjustment

of status until a visa becomes available.

4. Therefore, the parties hereby request this Court to vacate the July 27, 2007 hearing date

and to hold the case in abeyance until a visa becomes available. 

5. If this case does not resolve itself administratively, within three days of visas becoming

available by the State Department, the parties agree to reset the hearing date on Defendants’ 

motion to dismiss.
