Just got one netter's call from upstate NY.

The situation is, he applied for EB-1 on July 8, 1993. At the same time,
he also applied under CSPA. That is where the trouble started.

When he found out the lads problem with CSPA, he informed Eastern Center
to cancel his CSPA case. Because his wife is not covered by CSPA, she can
not apply under CSPA. But with EB-1, the guy can take his wife along with
him through EB-1, which is current, better than CSPA.

The Eastern Center just ignored him, and approved his CSPA application
anyway. His EB-1 is canceled at the same time, by INS, of course.

Then his wife is out-of-status instantly since she filed only with her
husband under EB-1, and never got a chance to apply as a lad, due
to the time window problem.

Now his wife entered Voluntary Departure Program. It is stupid, INS
officer admited, BUT IT IS THE LAW.

So, maybe it is too late for some of our netters. But if you have lads,
and options other than CSPA, try the other options. CSPA is hazardous
for your lads! Look out, guys!

That should be the well founded reason for the dramastic retrogress
of China's EB-2 category.

As Mi Mi Sr. had said in late July, if the lads are not included in
the CSPA itself, we are in contant trouble! As we now see it, not
only CSPAers and their lads, but also most of our LCers, are in
great trouble! With far less people can utilize EB-1 category
instead of EB-2 and EB-3, and the proposed reduced H1-B time from
six years to three years, many of our LC sisters and brothers can
not even get a chance.

It is the time to take an action, before it is too late.

Mi Mi Sr.
