Li v. Chertoff, Civil Action No. 06-10963-JLT, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 42518, June 12, 2007.

• An individual who was a Legal Permanent Resident in the U.S. applied for naturalization with the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services). The alien went to Canada to pursue an opportunity to study in a university's dental program and attempted to complete her naturalization application before her departure date, but it was unreasonably delayed by the USCIS. The alien obtained resident status in Canada but always maintained her Legal Permanent Resident status in the U.S. We argued that despite the fact she was temporarily residing in Canada she was still eligible to be granted citizenship in the U.S. and the court found in our favor.
