Mandamus action: After judge's order, I-485 approved

Mr. Dong and his wife filed their i-485 with the California Service Center in September of 2005. The principal applicant's application was delayed due to FBI name check. We filed the mandamus action in January of 2007. The case was delayed because judge Armstrong asked for additional brief and then took the case under submission. In September 6, 2007, judge Armstrong in a 15 page decision denied government's motion to dismiss and granted our motion for summary judgment, ordering the CIS to complete the adjudication by October 15, 2007. CIS then on September 20 requested the FBI to expedite the name check. Today, October 11, CIS approved both applications.

The case cite is Dong v. Chertoff, C 07 0266 SBA, Northern District of California.
