ATTORNEY Michael Dotts told the federal court that progress has been made in repatriating Imperial Pacific Internationalâs Mongolian construction workers.
He said IPI, which he represents, is hopeful that the employees can return to their home country in early May.
Construction work at the IPI casino-resort site remains suspended as ordered by the court, Dotts added.
In IPIâs 14th status report filed with the District Court for the NMI on Monday, Dotts said, âIPI employee housing still has power. Food services have continued without interruption for all IPI H-2B workers.â
IPIâs next payday (payroll 9) is April 23, he added.

CHIEF Judge Ramona V. Manglona of the District Court for the NMI has extended the effective date of Imperial Pacific International LLCâs receivership for another week following a request from the parties.
Judge Manglona modified her previous order that set the terms of IPIâs receivership, and ordered IPI receiver Joyce Tang not to take any action concerning the sale of assets until March 19, at 1:30 p.m.
âAll other terms and provisions of the order remain unchanged,â the judge added.
On Friday, the U.S. Department of Labor, through attorney Charles Song, and IPI, through attorney Michael Dotts, submitted a stipulation to stay the effective date of the receivership by one week.
