Plaintiffs allege defendants have failed to process their I-485 applications in a timely manner, apparently as a result of delays in obtaining a completed background check clearance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Plaintiffs allege that, as a result, defendants have violated the Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C § 701 et. seq. Plaintiffs request that this Court enter an order compelling defendants to act upon their applications.
