Civil rights groups sue over delay in processing citizenship - Examiner.com: "Immigrants who waited years for their citizenship applications to be processed because of lengthy security checks claimed in a lawsuit Thursday that the delays violated their constitutional rights of due process.
The suit, filed in San Francisco federal court against the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, among others, seeks to enforce rules saying the government should make a decision on a citizenship application within 120 days of the applicant's interview.
The immigrants cleared traditional criminal background checks and other requirements only to wait years for clearance through the FBI's name-check process, through which all immigration applicants must pass since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the plaintiffs' attorneys said."
