   Dear Chinese fellows:
   I am a f-1 student from China and I came to the U.S. in 1989. I went back to
   China in 1991 for 92 days. The reason that kept me staying in China longer
   than 90 days was a sickness. Because I was so close to the 90 day restriction I
   filed an application for permanent residence under the CSPA. Unfortunately, my
   application was denied and the immigration officer even didn't give me a chance
   to appeal the case. That means that I will lose my legel status after Jan. 1,
   1994. I need your help. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for my
   next step: Should I reopen the case? or file another application for getting
   myself back to f-1 after Jan. 1, 1994, if possible, or..... If you know any one
   whose similar case was approved or denied please contact me. Thanks.

Mi Mi Sr.'s response:

As per CSPA, any case which has been denied has no chance to appeal. The 
only thing you can do is when you are deported, the INS officer can review
your case. 

My suggestion is why not try Dr. Zhao Haiqing's NCCA, or, even better, try
Arent & Fox who drafted the CSPA itself. You certainly need an informative
attorney to represent you. It will cause you big money, but you have to try.
Do not find those cheap forms-filling vendors who has no more knowledge than
you and I do. It your case is killed twice, than you realy have no chance.
During the mean time, try to get back to F-1 status as soon as possible. 
It will save you somewhat if you fell again.

You got a very tough job to do. Good luck!

Mi Mi Sr.
