        # Late Comers = New Comers = Chinese Students & Scholars #
        #  who came to the United States after April 11th, 1990  #

Dear Late Comers:

    Through CSPA (Chinese Students Protection Act) Implementation, there are
growing demand for coordinating Late Comers' activities among CSS community.
The IFCSS (Independent Federation of Chinese Students & Scholars) New Comers
Working Committee is set up for this purpose: forming with Late Comers and
working for Late Comers. Since most of the Late Comers are full time students
with loaded course works, this working committee need more volunteers to
join in so that we can work in a more efficient way. If you or your friends
interest in this volunteer service, please read the attached proposal and
contact me at [email-masked].

     Acting Chairman of
IFCSS New Comers Working Committee

               The proposal of New Comers Working Committee
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    New Comers mainly refer to those Chinese Students (though they may
    include part of Chinese Scholars) who came to the United States after
    April 11, 1990. Many questions have been raised through the CSPA
    (Chinese Students Protection Act) Implementation, New Comers are concerned
    of their future after CSPA. Recently, there're more and more reports
    that New Comers' job applications be denied simply because they have
    not been covered by CSPA. The reason is that before New Comers can be
    hired, the employer must demonstrate that there's no American
    citizen or PR applying for the same position. While CSPA produced a large
    pool of PRs whose major are overlapped with most of New Comers. Faced
    with this situation, New Comers Working Committee propose to work
    closely with IFCSS HQ in the direction of working permit and visa
    extension beyond graduation. This committee believes that the proposed
    work will ease the hardship New Comers encountered and strengthen the
    grassroots of IFCSS. This proposal also implies that IFCSS HQ should
    devote specific resources for the task as most of the New Comers
    Working Committee members are full time students, they need to balance
    their time between studying and volunteer services.

    Second, New Comers Working Committee will try to supply legal advice
    for New Comers. It will help to solve problems which New Comers have
    or will meet. Third, New Comers Working Committee will probe the
    possibility of academic assistance for New Comers. The academic
    excellence will partially help New Comers in the road of job hunting.
    Fourth, as an option, New Comers Working Committee will try to organize
    a workshop for New Comers activists to learn how to conduct social
    activities and to exchange their experience.

    The set up of New Comers Working Committee is just a beginning. In order
    to improve IFCSS's mission, the committee should establish a broad
    connection among campuses and work hard for the future of New Comers.

     IFCSS New Comers Working Committee
