Subject: Anybody over 90 days approved?

Hi Friends, 

For some reason I stayed in China for more than 90 days during the defined
interval, and I filed my CSPA application in late July with a petition to 
waive the 90-day and evidence that my 92 day stay was involuntary. 
But I was denied by Eastern Center Acting director in a letter 
(dated SEP 22,1993) which  quotes the CSPA interim regulation:
"Since this restriction is statutorily imposed, the Service has no 
discretionary authority to waive compliance with the 90-day aggregate on
physical presence in the PRC, regardless of the reasons you may have been
forced to remain there."

Now, my question is, is the INS consistent on this? in other words, is
there anybody who has a 90-day problem and got approved?

I'd appreciate if you can provide any information, concerning this.
