DECISION AND ORDER ACCEPTING SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT AND
CONSENT FINDINGS AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This matter arises under the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.
§§1101(a)(15)(H)(I)(a) and 1182(m), and the regulations at 20 C.F.R. Part 655.
Pursuant to a joint request by the parties, a hearing in this matter was deferred to permit
negotiation of a settlement. On December 18, 1997, the parties filed a Settlement Agreement and
Consent Findings.
I have reviewed the agreement, which is attached hereto and incorporated
by reference in its entirety, and find that it conforms to the regulatory procedural requirements of
29 C.F.R. §18.9, see 20 C.F.R. §656.425 (incorporating the rules of practice
and procedure found at 29 C.F.R. Part 18). I also find that it meets the requirements of the public
interest. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the Settlement Agreement and Consent
Findings are hereby ACCEPTED this 9th day of January, 1998, and the appeal in this
matter is hereby DISMISSED.
