OPINION
SCHNACKE, District Judge.
Plaintiffs are Iranian nationals whose applications for extensions of stay as non-im migrants, and for change of status, were denied during the “hostage crisis”. They seek declaratory relief, challenging the exercise of discretion by the District Director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (hereinafter, “INS”) and the constitutional validity of the federal regulations upon which it was based. Of central concern is the authority of INS to consider United States foreign relations in carrying out its responsibility under the immigration laws.
