Dear Mi Mi Sr:

Could you help post the following message?  Thanks.

My wife who is a "victim" of the 90-day-rule got her work permit today.  She
could apply for adjustment of status as a CSPA principal due to the obove 
reason.  However, as a spouse of a CSPA principal, she applied for adjustment
of status as a derivative family member of a CSPA beneficiary.  The notice she
receives has a alien number attached.  There is no mention as to the status of
her application as derivatiave family member applying under EB-3, nor any other
mention concering her legal status after 1/1/94 when her current legal status
expires.  The Philadelphia INS is certainly the most efficient INS in the
nation, to put it mildly, and has literally no one to answer your question
other than telling you to wait...

I am letting my fellow netters know this for two reasons.  1) Anyone in the
similiar situation has a chance to get at least a work permit from the INS. 
This at least provides a grace period and lawful status while your application
for GC is still pending.  2) I would appreciate anyone's insider's
interpretation and analysis of this situation, and would be happy to answer any
question regarding how we got to where we are as "violators" of one of the most
preposterous law passed by the Congress.
