Defendants.

It is hereby agreed and stipulated by all parties, through their respective counsel, that the due date

17

for the federal defendants to file their response to the complaint (#1) may be extended to December 11,

18

2020. This is the second request to extend the due date for the defendants’ response to the complaint. It

19

is requested the Court approve the requested extension of time based on the following:

20

1. Plaintiff Shetty filed his complaint (#1) on May 20, 2020. The complaint seeks to challenge

21

the denial of Shetty’s petition for an “EB-1” visa which sought classification of Shetty as an alien with

22

extraordinary ability in the field of internal medicine education. See Complaint (#1), para. 1.

23

2. By stipulated order (#18) entered July 17, 2020, the deadline for the defendant federal agencies

24

to respond to the complaint was extended to October 26, 2020, based on USCIS’s issuance of an

1

administrative request for evidence (RFE) to obtain additional information from Shetty relevant to his

2

visa application.

3

3. Shetty anticipates providing his response to the agency’s RFE within the next two weeks. The

4

current extended deadline will not provide USCIS with sufficient time to evaluate Shetty’s anticipated

5

additional information and make a visa eligibility determination thereon.

6

4. The requested extension of time is requested in order to provide time for Shetty to respond to

7

the RFE with additional information and materials and for USCIS to further consider Shetty’s eligibility

8

for the visa classification sought by him.

9
10

Based on the foregoing, the parties request the Court approve the stipulation and the proposed
extension of time to December 11, 2020, for the filing of defendants’ response to the complaint.
