Hi! Dear Over-90-Dayers:

The following untailored IFCSS HQ's News Release is just FYI.  In this
news release you could find the phone/fax #s of:

*	IFCSS HQ
*	A agent in Arent/Fox (I do not know if she is still working on
	the 90-day issue or not).

*	The Haiqing's NCCA phone # is: (202) 835-1880

I agree Mi Mi Sr.'s opinion, DO NOT WAST TIME.

Good luck!

     The Correct Phone Number for 90 day Issue Consultation
     ======================================================

By now you may have received our IFCSS HQ News Release 5025 about
the 90 day restriction. We put on the wrong phone number for Mrs.
Lynda Zengerle's office, and the CORRECT number to contact her is

     (202)857-8935

For your convenience, we attach the original news release in the
following:

                  The 90 Days Limit of the CSPA
                  =============================

Under the CSPA, any individual who has returned to and stayed in
China for more than 90 days is considered to be ineligible for PR
in the United States. The IFCSS HQ has spoken to Senator Kennedy's
staff and requested consideration of certain events such as
government interference or illness which would have forced an
individual to remain in China for a total of more than 90 days
between April 11, 1990 and October 9, 1992. Senator Kennedy's staff
members have indicated that while the CSPA seems to be fairly
inflexible with regard to the 90 day rule, the Senetor MAY be
willing to ask for a case-by-case consideration for those
applicants who have remained more than 90 days but can explain
their overstay as an event beyond their control. Mr. Jerry Tinker,
the Senator staff director, also indicated that a return to China
and stay of more than 90 days based on one's own free will, such as
teaching even in a U.S. foundation program, should not be
considered as grounds for a waiver.

If you believe that you would qualify for a waiver from the 90 day
requirement, based on the criteria we have discussed above, and you
wish to have an attorney assist you with your application, we
suggest that you contact

Lynda S. Zengerle
1050 Connecticut Avenue, NW.
Washington D.C. 20036

Tel: (202) 857-8935 (This is the correct number)
Fax: (202) 857-6395

Mrs Zengerle is the partner in charge of the Immigration Practice
at Arent/Fox. She has assisted us in our CSPA lobbying effort in
many ways, and is directly involved in working on the 90 day issue.
However, as the 90 day issue will be handled case by case, the Firm
will bill for legal services at an hourly rate. This you can
discuss with Mrs Zengerle.
