USCIS shall interview Plaintiff on September 4, 2025, at 11:30 a.m., at the

Los Angeles Asylum Office in Tustin, California. USCIS intends to conduct

7

the interview on the date set, however, the parties understand that due to

8

unexpected staffing limitations or other unforeseen circumstances that may

9

arise, USCIS reserves its right to cancel and reschedule the interview.

10

Should rescheduling be necessary, the interview will be rescheduled within

11

4 weeks of the original interview date, absent unforeseen or exceptional

12

circumstances;

Plaintiff agrees to attend the interview on the date listed above, absent

interpreter to their asylum interview.

17

See https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/affirmative-asylum-applicants-

18

19

to bring an interpreter to their interview may result in the interview being

20

rescheduled at no fault of USCIS;

21

5.

If needed, Plaintiff agrees to only make one interview reschedule request

22

and to notify the Los Angeles Asylum Office of the reschedule request, in

23

writing, prior to the scheduled interview date. Plaintiff may email the

24

reschedule request to [e-mail];

25

6.

If multiple reschedule requests are made by Plaintiff, USCIS may place the

asylum application back into the Los Angeles Asylum Office’s general

27

interview scheduling priorities. See

as part of the asylum interview process and the adjudication of the

4

application;

5

8.

USCIS agrees to diligently work towards completing adjudication of the

6

asylum application within 120 days of completion of Plaintiff’s asylum

7

interview, absent unforeseen or exceptional circumstances that would

8

require additional time to complete adjudication;

9

9.

In the event that USCIS does not complete adjudication of the asylum

10

application within 120 days of the completion of the asylum interview,

11

Plaintiff may refile this action;

12

10.

Plaintiff agrees to submit all supplemental documents and evidence, if any,

13

to USCIS prior to the agreed upon scheduled interview based on the

14

following timelines. Plaintiff may email any supplemental documents to

15

[e-mail] at least seven (7) calendar days before

16

the interview. Alternatively, Plaintiffs may mail the supplemental

17

18

92781-2003, postmarked no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the

19

scheduled asylum interview. Plaintiff recognizes that failure to submit these

20

documents in a timely manner may result in the interview being rescheduled

21

at no fault of USCIS;

Each party agrees to bear his, her or its own litigation costs, expenses, and
attorney fees.
