/don't forget we still have problems in DED legal status.  Ask Dr. Zhao
/to help us, please.

/Hi, Mi Mi
/Please don't forget DED lads. They have more difficulties.
/It was not their fault, was it.
/Even if the world quota issue is solved, they still cannot apply.
/Please don't forget them.

Hi, everyone. We lads-net committee will do our best to serve every lads.
We will not forget our problems. As matter of fact, while IFCSS HQ has shifted
her attention to somewhere else, lads-net committee tried her best to serve you
with the information all the lads are concerned. In the past ten days, lads-net 
committee has been reaching out to all the agencies to play a more active role
than merely sharing information with you. We have established friendly connection
with Mr. Liu Chengyan' New Comer's Organization, which could become one 
of the IFCSS subcommittee in charge of solving lads-visa-crisis, we have channeled 
our concerns to the IFCSS Council, which has passed two bills addressing the
current visa-crisis. We are also trying to establish close contact with Dr. Zhao's
NCCA, to voice our concerns and offer our support. We are now drafting a 
non-political petition letters to urge all the concerned agencies to help us 
to solve the lads visa-quota problems. We need your help, we need all the 
parties to participate, including new comer students. Please pass the draft
petition letters around and collect as many signatures as you can.

Our goal is very simple. 
1) Push lads into the world-wide-quota: cut the waiting period for lads,
	save the China quota for new comer students;
2) Solve the other lads problem such as DED, 90-day, etc.

With limited resources and manpower, we are trying our best to help the
whole community. Please help us to collect signatures, and help yourselves!

Dear Madam Rita A. Boie,

	We, Late-Arriving Dependents (LADs) and CSPA principals with LADs, 
who signed their names and addresses here, would like to call your attention to 
the following two big problems involved in subjecting LADs to the China quota.

(1) According to the survey made by IFCSS HQ, there are approximately 10000 
eligible LADs in the US who may file their applications under EB-3 and FB-2 
during this August and September. Since the annual China quota in EB-3 or 
FB-2 is about 2000, only these LADs will make the backlog of China's at least 
five years longer. This means that no China nationals can file application for 
adjustment of status in the next five years. So those who  are eligible to adjust
 their status under EB-3 or FB-2 in the normal situation will have to wait four 
more years to file their applications. To further complicate this situation is
 the reported INS decision to include all the illegally entered China nationals 
who came before April 11, 1990, and have obtained an advance parole to 
re-enter US to apply under CSPA. While this new decision reflects the spirit 
of humanitarian and protection that are implanted in the then President's 
Executive Order 12711, those added applicants with their LADs are facing 
more difficulties than anyone  else. Not only those LADs whose principals 
entered illegally will be queued after those whose principals entered 
legally, that means even  longer waiting period, but also the unspecified 
number of LADs will jam the normal China EB-3 and FB-2 categories for 
even more years. As Americans cherish their traditional family values
 and humanity, those traditional values are also deeply rooted in the Chinese 
culture and every Chinese family. The anticipated long separation of those 
families resulted from visa quota allocation problem will surely bring 
sadness and suffering to those families, and thus contradict the humanitarian 
spirit written both in the E.O.12711 and CSPA.

(2) For dependents remaining in China, the situation is even more bleak.  
These individuals would be required to wait in China until visa numbers 
are available that could potentially separate families for over five years. 
The chances of obtaining a non immigrant visa to enter the US. are 
severely hampered for the dependents of a spouse or parent in the US.  
In addition, many of the dependents, both in the US. and in China, 
who are now considered children, will reach the age of 21 prior to visa 
availability.  This would disqualify them for visa issuance.

Before more efficient solutions are found, we believe that two solutions are practical now.

(1)Re-allocate the LADs into world quota. The CSPA principals can be allocated into the 
world-wide 46,000 quota leftovers for fiscal year 1993 and it is reasonable to estimate 
that there are still world-wide quota leftover next years. Instead of let the LADs blocking 
the doors to China regular EB-3 or EP-2 visas, we free these people into the world quota.

(2)  A blanket family unity program should be established to protect all late-arriving 
dependents.  This program should mirror the benefits of E.O. 12711 to (1) provide
 employment authorization for the duration of the dependents' wait; (2) provide 
liberal advance parole; (3) deem the individual to maintain his/her non immigrant 
status for adjustment purposes; and (4) allow children under twenty-one on the date
 of the CSPA principal's approval to be eligible for adjustment even if they are over
 twenty-one at the date of adjustment.  This family unity program would resolve
 the problems involved with the case by case voluntary departure program.

    Thank you for your attention.  We are waiting for your kind consideration.
