Subject: PR application window for lads closed in November

Dear Netters:

PR application window for lads is closed in November. You can not apply EB-3 
for your lads NOW until future window openning. However, you can apply FB-2 
anytime once you received your approval notice. You can file EB-3 again later
when the window opens for you. To play it safe and quick, you are encouraged
to file both. There is no penalties if you file a hundred times in a hundred
of categories, except your pocket, and the application fee is not tax 
deductable!

Mi Mi knows quite a few lads have gotten their temporary I-551, the same as 
Mi Mi has right now, and a bounch of CSPAers who are still waiting for the 
approval notice! Is that interesting?

But the way, it seems there is no such category for PR's parents to apply 
for PR. Is there any category for US Citizen's parents to apply PR?

Mi Mi
