INS MAKES 1000 CHINESE CONDITIONAL ASYLUM CASES FINAL
This week the INS notified 1000 applicants that they have been granted asylum in the US based on coercive population control methods in their home countries.  This basis for asylum was created in 1996, primarily to address claims of forced abortions and sterilizations in China. 

The law limits the number of asylees under this provision to 1000 each year.  If the INS determines that a grant of asylum is warranted, it makes it conditional.  Then, each year, it places the conditional grants in chronological order and converts the first 1000 into outright grants of asylum. 

The 1000 cases approved this week were conditionally granted from March 19, 1999 to August 4, 1999.  No more asylees will have conditions removed this fiscal year.
