If you are not interested in P2 spouse immigration issues, hit 'n' now.

--------------------------

SITUATION:
As some of you may be aware, the P2 spouse immigration waiting period is again
on the increase and the cutoff dates have not moved a day for June>Sept 1992
period. You may also be aware that at this time, two pieces of legislation now
stand before congress (bills HR4275 and S2385) which will ease this involuntary
separation of spouses, by providing nonimmigrant visa provisions. Spouses are
routinely denied visitors or other NIV visas currently while they are awaiting a
visa number in the que. PSR, a grass roots organization has worked to get these
bills into congress and is now seeking sympathizers and others affected by this
problem to help get this legislation taken up and enacted into law.

HOW TO HELP:
To help, people are asked to call the senators on the judiciary committe (listed
below) to express support for bill S2385, asking that it be taken up as quickly
as possible. 

Also we have prepared petitions to be signed. if you would like to get a copy of
a petition and get your friends etc. to sign these petitions, please send an
email to   mohan@anl.gov  (ask for Postscript or ASCII or USmail versions). 

To get more information, please write or call PSR at:
