JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER RE:
REQUEST TO HOLD MATTER IN
ABEYANCE.

This is an immigration case in which plaintiffs challenge the revocation of visa

petitions filed by plaintiff Audrey Casillas by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (CIS)
and seek an order of declaratory relief that the visa petitions be approved. The parties previously
stipulated to hold the matter in abeyance pending an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

18

Since the parties’ last filing, the Board remanded the matter to CIS for an issue related to the

19

record of proceedings. It is expected that the matter will be returned to the Board for

20

adjudication.

21

Because of the likelihood that adjudication by the Board of Immigration Appeals

22

will render this action moot, the parties request that the case continue to be held in abeyance until

23

November 14, 2013, and that all case deadlines be extended to sometime after that date.
