Hi, netters, since the fiscal year reaches the end, it is bothersome none
gets approved yet. 

Security check need 45 days. And 65 days has passed. Those with notice date
of 7/1 should have something like approval. Remember State Department started
to issue visa number begining on August 1.......

There should be 15,000 visas issued up to now, but nothing happens yet..

Then the problem is, is it possible for INS people to make fully use of 
the 46,000 leftover this year? If not, how many winning lotteray visas 
are handed out by September 30? How many unluky ones have to wait until next 

year? It was said there are only 20,000 leftover for the next year. Say, only
20,000 winning tickets this year, and, some one has to wait until 1995...

Well, maybe INS people want to mail out all the approval notice on September
30, to give you guys a big, big suprise...... 

Mi Mi

If any of our lads-net netters have received approval notice, please inform
us immediately. Also please report your lads-related information to us. This
is very important to monitor the development of INS policy. Please do not
go away when you got your approval notice. Thank you very much!
