Congradulations Emta, you deserve it
On a second note, just update my status with my hearing this morning.
I got to the court early, and chatted with the AUSA, and she was really nice.
When the court session starts, we first introduced ourselfs to the judge.
Then the judge ask the AUSA if she has new status to report.
AUSA : "yes, USCIS has sent an expedite request on 09/13, and it's right now in the hands of FBI, and the FBI has to do all the name check because ... "
JUDGE: "I am tired of these goverment agencies making excuses, isn't there a statutory requirement to get this finished in 120 days?"
AUSA : " yes, but there is another statue requiring USCIS finish the security check first."
JUDGE: "Why should I resolve the conflicting laws here, go back have the congress fix the law."
JUDGE: "The USCIS need to finish their process by Oct. 15th!"
AUSA : (in supprise) "Is this an order?"
JUDGE: "Yes."
AUSA : "FBI process or the naturalization process."
JUDGE: "Naturalization process, isn't it this law suit all about?"
AUSA : "Do you want me to prepare the order."
JUDGE: "Yes, since you can see, he is a Pro Se"
Then the judge talk to me,
JUDGE: "I do have one question for you. Looks like you had some legal help with this, did you do this yourself."
ME : " Yes, their is a Forum on the internet and we shared all the formation and getting advice from each other."
JUDGE smiled
So the hearing last about 15 mins, and after we left the court room, the AUSA congradulated me, and told me this is the first time judge actually ruled, and she will go back tell the defendants. She also mention that the defendants might appeal.
I filed my law suit on 09/01, and served AUSA on 09/05.
The AUSA has till 11/06 to answer
BUT the judge ruled to finish by 10/15!
