Again, per USCIS internal memo, it is their own interpretation that "examination"="interview". In light of this memo Chevron should not be relevant anymore. You can find this memo attached to message #9642, page 643. Best of luck, snorlax

Yes, it is often referred to in legislation involving governmental agencies. One can get a good general sense what it is all about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_U.S.A.,_Inc._v._Natural_Resources_Defense_Council,_Inc. in greater detailes here...

My AUSA told me that “without prejudice” not only means that one can bring another lawsuit regarding the same matter, but also reopen the instant case dismissed based on joint stipulation to dismiss. I asked her to confirm that I understood it correctly and she did. Any comments? Best of...

I agree with paz1960. Calling AUSA and putting a face (ok, most often - voice) behind the paper helps, especially if you manage to assure that you are easily accessible, trying to help and reduce their workload to a min. From my experience, I think at that point they feel that it is the USCIS...

Dear fellow participants, many thanks for your help and congratulations! I went for INFOPASS appointment today. According to the officer my name check has been cleared on March 13th and my application approved on April 9th. I asked for anything in writing –some kind of confirmation letter...

Thanks, your version sounds much better! snorlax

Thanks again, paz1960. I scheduled an INFOPASS appointment to see if there is anything they can tell me about the status of my case. It looks like the stipulation text is standard - at least it looks identical to the stipulation received by sfbayarea, message #9730, back in March this year. I...

Thanks for your message. I have yet to see any evidence that the USCIS is moving with my case, so I am a little hesitant to celebrate yet. And you are absolutely right about the language – I have to work on it. Hopefully I won’t produce a flop at this stage. Any suggestion will be highly...

Hi paz1960, Many thanks for your message. I just thought that USCIS would normally continue working on the case and it was only the AUSA who knew about the Hovsepian. If I will not receive some USCIS letter in the mail later this week I will probably schedule INFOPASS appointment and see...

I would certainly forward this letter to the general AUSA’s e-mail. In the e-mail you can explicitly ask to forward it to whoever your case is assigned to. From my experience – their offices are not too big – it is going to be easy for him/her to figure out who is handling your case and forward...

AUSA called this morning – she said that my name check has been cleared and USCIS is ready to adjudicate in 3 weeks. She wanted me to sign joint stipulation to dismiss. I politely declined – said I would like to get that in writing from USCIS and better yet – the Oath letter. She said that I...

I would call the clerk and ask regarding case management forms or the directions to some website where one can download those. As the last resort you can develop a Word document using forms from CA courts as a template. Most certainly you can file motion to extend – more often than not it is...

I believe you need to file a Supplemental Case Management Statement or a Joint Case Mgmt Statement & Order. You probably should ask your AUSA to agree to it, especially if you are using the second form. In my court the forms are here...

I do not know if Windows has it – probably not. Have you gotten all files in one folder? Does Linux have the capability of searching inside the files? Yeah, I have fond WGET for Windows, but it is a GNU utility - not a part of Windows. Cheers, snorlax

The only way I can think of would be manually opening files one by one and see which of them are WOMs. If we had ftp access to this directory we could just download all those files and use Windows search for words or phrases inside the files (most of these files are text PDFs). Unfortunately...

This is first time I hear that anybody has gotten them to move by mentioning lawsuit. Please keep us posted regarding further developments. Best of luck, snorlax

Cool! Similar forms from NorCal - http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/cand/form.nsf/7813fd3053452aef88256d4a0058fb31/2011633eaededba088256d4a0058f1ff?OpenDocument Cheers, snorlax

Great references, thanks a lot! I wonder if we can find stuff like that specifically for Northern California Courts... Cheers, snorlax

I have e-mailed you the edits, but it is probably a little late. Yes, USCIS can deny you application and that would make your case moot. But than they have to give the reason for denial and you will be eligible for USCIS hearing – that would be at least some motion with your application...

That is exactly the point – FBI does not do any discoveries. AUSA says that because s/he has nothing to show for the discovery phase. In reply to AUSA I would just say that the previous case managements went nowhere because no discovery has been scheduled and this time it has to be done. I would...
