JOINT STIPULATION AND PROPOSED
ORDER RE: REQUEST TO HOLD
MATTER IN ABEYANCE.
This is an immigration case in which plaintiffs challenge the denial by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (CIS) of her visa petitions on her husband's behalf. On June 10, 2010, this Court, per the stipulation of the parties, ordered the matter held in abeyance while the administrative appeal was pending before the Board of Immigration Appeals. As of the time of this filing, the matter remains pending at the Board of Immigration Appeals, where it has been since June 2011. This is still within the normal processing time of the Board. It is anticipated that the matter will be adjudicated by the Board within another abeyance period, until February 14, 2012.
Accordingly, the parties propose a further extension until February 14, 2012, at which time the parties will again submit a status report or other dispositive filing.
