Dear Editor:
In August 2002 President Bush signed into law thr Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), a law amending the Immigration and Nationality Act. Section 6 of the CSPA under the heading "Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Naturalized Citizens" provides for the automatic transfer of preference categories when the parent of an unmarried son or daughter naturalizes, but also provides the unmarried son or daughter the ability to request that such transfer not occur. Special mention is made for Filipino applicants who are adversely affected. The President doesn't their waiting prolonged since it would be unfair. My son is an example of such a case. I petitioned for him in July 1993. His petition was approved by thw Visa Center and sent to the Immigration Office of the US Embassy in Manila in 2001.After completing all the requirements and paying all fees, he was called for a final interview in March 2003, but denied a visa supposedly due to my naturalization in 1994. The CSPA took effect in 2002. We have sent an appeal to Atty. General Ashcroft, to the President himself, to the Secretary of State, the first Lady's Office and Senators Feinstein and Boxer, but got no answer to our problem. Please tell us why this law is not implemented. It's as worthless as the paper it is written on.
