JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: EXTENSION OF TIME
This is an immigration case in which plaintiff has challenged the refusal to issue a visa to his fiance. Since the filing of this lawsuit, the Department of State is in the process of returning the visa application to the Ho Chi Minh City post for further investigation. The parties therefore stipulate to a 90-day extension of time in which to file both the government's answer to the complaint and the joint status report, as the parties explore the possibility of a resolution at the administrative level.
The parties therefore stipulate that the time for filing the government's answer be extended to April 4, 2012, and that the scheduling conference, currently set for February 6, 2012, be reset to sometime after the new answer due date.
