News Briefs (4 Items) ................................................ 60 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [NAFSA Network, 11/12/95] U.S. Government Shutdown Expected Tuesday. As you are aware, the current budget battles in Washington will likely result in many federal workers being sent home Tuesday morning on furlough. The impact of this on international educators will depend upon which specific workers are furloughed and how long the shutdown lasts. Initial reports are that immigration inspectors will remain on duty, but that many consulate officials will not be available to issue visas. In addition, many Department of Education officials are expected to be away from their desks and unable to assist with student financial aid processing. (Forwarded by: Bo Xiong) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The trail of Idaho state vs. Wenkai Li, who murdered Ning Li and Xia Ge on May 29, has been going on since Nov. 6. The first week of the trail will be dedicated to jury selection. Opening statements will occur and the evidence phase of the trail will begin on Nov. 13. Judge Bengtson recently denied the defendant's motion to suppress evidence, which means that he found that the law enforcement officers acted properly and all of the evidence against the defendent, including the defendent's confession, will be available for use by the state at trail. Whekai Li is charged with double counts of first degree murder. By the state law, judge Bengtson will decide the punishment based on the facts of the murder, the opinions from the victim families and the public, if the deoendent is convicted. The victim families hope the public to support them to seek justice.

Simpson Bill Scheduled for Consideration This Week ................... 40 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: NAFSA Netwrok, Forwarded by: Bo Xiong Abridged by: CND-US DATE: November 12, 1995 (11:15pm Eastern) Simpson Bill Scheduled for Consideration This Week. Simpson Bill Scheduled for Consideration This Week. After introducing his immigration reform legislation November 3rd, Senator Alan K. Simpson (R-WY) scheduled an Immigration Subcommittee markup of the bill for Wednesday and Thursday of this week (November 15th and 16th). Many observers believe the expedited consideration, without a formal hearing on the proposal, is designed to prevent opposition groups from having sufficient time to mobilize against the legislation. However, those groups are doing their best to express opposition to the proposal. NAFSA, along with the Association of American Universities and the College and University Personnel Association, has drafted a sign-on letter which is now being circulated to many of the leading higher education associations in Washington for their endorsement. The letter expresses the academic community's belief that the Simpson legislation curtails the ability of colleges and universities to attract the best and brightest students, researchers, and scholars. A copy of the final letter, which will be delivered to Senator Simpson late on Monday, will be posted to INTER-L at that time. A similar letter is being sent by the business and family immigration coalitions, with the business community planning a press conference on Monday against the legislation. Their general message, along with that of the academic community, is the same: the Immigration Reform Act of 1995 should not be approved by the subcommittee, and it instead should be sent back to the drafting table for a complete re-write. In the meantime, NAFSAns are urged to contact their senators and express opposition to the Simpson bill. A separate action alert follows this posting to INTER-L, complete with talking points NAFSAns can use both for expressing their concerns to their senators, as well as for alerting campus officials about this draconian legislation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

Information Exchange: J Visa Denial Case; F-2 Successful Case; New Restrictions on L-1 ........................ 45 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: NAFSA Network, Forwarded by: Bo Xiong 1). J Visa Denial Case I have a citizen of the PRC who is being denied a J visa in Beijing. The person is leaving their entire family in Beijing and has no family members in the U.S., but the stated reason for denial is intent to immigrate. I've seen this many times before. What I haven't seen before is a letter from the embassy stating that the visa will be granted when and if we issue a new IAP-66 with a letter stating that the University will never sponsor this person for an H visa or Green Card. Has anyone seen anything like this, and if yes, did you send the requested papers? Clearly, once the person gets here they could transfer to another sponsor and potentially change to the H or Green Card, so I'm not sure why this request is even being made. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2). F-2 Success in PR China About a month ago I posted a message asking for advice for an F-1 student and his F-2 wife on getting their daughter a visa (f-2) in China. She had been denied twice on intent to immigrate. The student had changed his status from a J-1 to an F-1 after getting a waiver of the 2 year residency requirement. The student wrote a letter addressing the concerns of intention to immigrate. He stated why he changed to an F-1, showed ties back to China via family and a possible job and explained that his wife and him desperately wanted their daughter with them. He included this letter with the I-20, our invitation letter and the financial proof. Well, an ecstatic student just phoned me up to say that his daughter had gotten a visa!! She will be out by the end of the month! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3). New Restrictions on L-1 Visa _From: Zha Liang wangfy@istic.sti.ac.cn Nov 8, 1995 I have overheard in Bejing that the U.S. Government will setup new regulations on the issuing of L-1 Visa to mainland residents because in the last year, lots of people who went to the U.S. with this L-1 visa were actually not qualified. Their motivation were to get the GREED CARD! California and some other states are trying to bring new restrictions on the issuing of L-1 Visa at the end of this year. Can anyone have any specific information on this news or can anybody confirm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

The day of Nov. 10 was choosed several months before as a time for students of Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering , Yokohama National Universityto visit Japan Atomic Energy Institute located in IBARACHI prefecture. At pm 8:00 all the attendee converged before the TENRI building at the West Exit of Yokohama station. All the people were waiting for the Charging professor Kawamura by the departuretime. The Professor was sorry for his late, for he had been still managing to contact to Chinese Tokyo Embassy some minutes ago. He anounced regretly that the Chinese students was not permitted to visit the sensitive institute, and he changed the program for chinese students to visit several museums, saying the department would pay the fees. All the chinese students amounted up twenties quit this program angrily immediately. In this occasion, the Japanese obscured who did not give the permission, but it may be too obvious! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.
