************************************************************** IFCSS Headquarter News Release No. 5030 July 25, 1993 ************************************************************** Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) 733 15th Street, N.W., Suite 440, Washington, D.C.20005 Tel.

However, the issue proves to be much more complex than the CSPA itself. It is much entangled in U.S. immigration laws and regulations. At the moment, we would like you to note the following in particular: (1) Some of the late-arriving dependents of the CSPA will be able to file for PR in August while some will have to enter Voluntary Departure before filing for PR. There is no reason that you should worry at this moment. (2) Certain details and ambiguity are still worked on. You still need to wait for information on who could file, how you should file and what additional procedures you must go through. So do NOT rush to the local INS offices. For this can only cause confusion at the local INS offices and thereby jeapadize the chances for a satisfactory conclusion of the issue. (3) Next week is critical. Please pay special attention to our E- Mail News Release, but do NOT jam the phone lines of the IFCSS HQ. For this will seriously undermine our ability to communicate with the INS HQ and other related offices. Thank you very much for your cooperation. ********************************************************************* * IFCSS Headquarters Office * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * President: Lin Changsheng Vice President: Shi Heping * *-------------------------------------------------------------------* * PBS-L is IFCSS's news distribution list for individuals.
