Yeah, that sounds reasonable, Al and Bob. But, I don't think going for this second interview will give them another 120 days. I read somewhere that a second interview after the lawsuit is filed does nothing to change original 120 day timeframe, and that I can still deny any further requests for a time extension.
They're trying to get you to drop the lawsuit, and they're not going to decide it administratively unless you drop it.
So when you drop it, they can again take as long as they want, unless you've structured an agreement with them that makes it hard for them to back out. Without you having a lawyer, they'll craft the agreement in a way that weakens their obligations, and you might still be waiting for them to act 6 months later. If you don't bring a lawyer with you, at least you should decline to sign anything on the spot, and tell them you'll take their proposed agreement to your lawyer to review it.
