Dear netters,

	In a week-long survey among the LAD network, we get the
following surprising results:

	Among ~1200 network members, only ~40 members have DED 
problems. This means that most of DEDs have no access to our network.

	More than half (~55%) of the DEDs have filed their 
applications. "Filed" means that the INS  have accepted their 
applications but they is waiting for further instruction 
for the INS HQ.

	Each DED family has ~1.5 DED members on average.

Below is the summary of the situation at different local INS:

======================================================
=======	Current situation of DED in Local INS ========
======================================================
	Arranged alphabetically by City Names

Arlington, VA:		Filed
ATLANTA, GA:		Rejected/filed
Boston, MA:		Filed
Camden, NJ:		Filed
CHICAGO,IL:		REJECTED/filed
Charlotte, N.C.:	Rejected
Cincinnati, OH:		filed
Denver, CO:		Filed.
Detroit, MI:		Rejected/filed
Honolulu, HI:		rejected
Houston, TX:		rejected	
Los Angeles, CA:	filed
Memphis, TN:		filed
Milwaukee, WI:		filed
Newark, NJ:		rejected
Kansas, MO:		rejected/Filed
San antonio, TX:	filed  
===========================================================

Now Let's estimate how many DEDs are waiting:

1. Let the number of CSPA principals be ~46,000.
2. ~1/6 of CSPA principals are LADs, i.e. ~8000 LADs.
3. ~1/4 of LADs are DEDs, i.e. ~2000 DEDs.
4. ~45% of DEDs are rejected, i.e. ~900 DEDs.
So, there are ~1000 DEDs are waiting for filing.

The above is only for your reference.

-------------------------------------------------------------
While we are working on the DED issue, we strongly recommend you
to file your application as soon as possible. Remember that the 
window for EB-3 is closed after 9/30/93. Time is very short for
every DED.
