BRIGHT, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
The convolutions in the proceedings in this case, which has droned on for more than five years, remind one of the famous fictional case of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, in Charles Dickens’s novel Bleak House. But this matter is not fiction; petitioner is being forced to leave this country even though her appeal to the BIA from the denial of her 1-130 petition is still pending.
I am obliged, however, to concur in the opinion under the existing immigration laws, as explained in the opinion. I do so with this suggestion: the Immigration Service should stay removal proceedings *385pending the outcome of her appeal from the denial of her 1-130 petition.
