LI ZHANG,
Plaintiffs,
v.
UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP AND
IMMIGRATION SERVICES,
Defendant.
Case No. 3:26-cv-07452-CRB
STIPULATION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS;
[PROPOSED] ORDER
The parties, through their attorneys, hereby stipulate and respectfully request the Court to stay
proceedings in this case for a limited time, until November 20, 2026. The parties make this joint request
because they are pursuing an administrative resolution that may render further litigation of this case
unnecessary.
Plaintiff filed this mandamus action seeking adjudication of her Form I-485, Application to
Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services
(“USCIS”) interviewed Plaintiff on September 23, 2026. USCIS has scheduled Plaintiff for another
interview on October 21, 2026.
Accordingly, the parties stipulate and request that the proceedings in this case be stayed until
November 20, 2026, at which time the parties will file a joint status report with the Court. At that time,

administrative resolution.
