Subject: approval & priority date

	Hi, there. I happened to see an approval notice last Saturday. It is for
	a ten year old boy. They live in Boston area and received the notice on
	Sept. 3. As now (not surprising), the adults in the family did not get
	any notice though they got receiving notices on the same day in July.

	However the priority date for the boy is Aug. 31, same as the approval
 	date. It is not so serious, since the boy can hardly have any lads. But
 	it would be serious if INS processed in this way. Is this a individual
 	case (INS made a small mistake when sending the notice) or the common 
	practices.

Subj:	LAD filing in NYC

	Dear Sirs:

	I have filed CSPA-dependent application for my wife in New York INS on
	8/29/93. The officer indicated to me that since our marriage happened
	after 4/11/91 we cannot file for "following-to join" petition in EB3
	catergory. After some argueing she reluctantly accepted our application
	package but said it would most likely to be rejected. 

	I wonder if anybody else has the same experience, especially in NYC 
	area. I am new in this mailing-list so if it is a FAQ please forgive me.

Subj:	I-89

	I applied PR under CSPA thru the Texas service center. My receipt 
	didn't ask me to do I-89 and that's also true with most of my friends 
	that sent their applications to the Texas center. 
	But recently many CSS at Atlanta have gone to INS Atlanta to do the 
	I-89 processing, without instructions from the service center. I don't
	know how it got started, but INS Atlanta accepts them anyway. My 
	question is: should I also do that? and does this I-89 prevent me to 
	be approved in this year if it's not done by the end of this month?
