Lazycis and others, all your postings on this forum have been extremely helpful to me in the past. I’m hoping to know your thoughts on the question below:
Background:
My 485 case is pending for over two years due to delay of FBI name check. In the past two years, I had contacted USCIS (Infopass and #800-), senators in my district, congressman in my district, President Bush’s office, first lady’s office, FBI(FOIPA, e-mail, and mail to Hooton, Hardy, Cannon, Muller). I lately also filled the 7001 form and sent it (with explanation of my case) to USCIS Ombudsman.
I’ve been preparing for a Pro Se lawsuit. The people listed in my draft compliant include:
A. Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the U. S. Department of Homeland Security
B. Emilio T. Gonzalez, Director, USCIS
C. Ruth A Dorochoff, Chicago District Director, USCIS
D. Michael B. Mukasey, Attorney General, U. S. Department of Justice
E. Robert S. Mueller, III, Director of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
I think I should wait for at least a month after sending my form 7001 to the Ombudsman before filing my lawsuit. I thought I could send my notice of intent to sue now since that would need a month of waiting as well.
I'm now ready to send the “Official Complaint of FBI Name Check Delay and Notice of Intent to Sue” to appropriate parties.
Question: Whom should I send this letter to?
My thought is:
· To Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney in Chicago District;
· To Ruth A Dorochoff, Chicago District Director, USCIS;
· To Office of the General Counsel, USDHS ( is Special Litigation Counsel, Robin M. Stutman the right person to send to??? If not, who is the right person?);
Is there anyone else I should send the letter to? Should I send it to each of the A, B, C, D and E listed above? Should I send it to the USCIS Ombudsman?
Your answer would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
