MINUTE ORDER. This matter is before the Court on sua sponte review of Plaintiffs' #1 Complaint. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants have not adjudicated their B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa petitions within a reasonable time as required by statute. Currently, the applications have been in administrative processing for approximately ten months, which is almost certainly a reasonable amount of time. See, e.g., Eljalabi v. Blinken, No. 21-1730 (RC), 2022 WL 2752613, at *6 (D.D.C. July 14, 2022) (collecting cases). As such, Plaintiffs shall SHOW CAUSE on or before OCTOBER 25, 2023 why the Complaint should not be dismissed sua sponte for failure to state a claim. See Turan Petroleum, Inc. v. Ministry of Oil and Gas of Kaz., 406 F. Supp. 3d 1, 3 n.1 (D.D.C. 2019) (explaining circumstances where court may dismiss complaint for failure to state a claim sua sponte). Signed by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on 10/11/23. (lcckk3)
