INS REMOVES CONDITIONAL STATUS FROM ASYLUM GRANTED IN 1998 BASED ON COERCIVE POPULATION CONTROL
Recently, the INS sent notices to people who had been granted asylum conditionally during fiscal year 1998 (October 1997 through September 1998) based on persecution through coercive population control to let them know they are now eligible for full asylum benefits.
This procedure is necessary because the law limits the number of people who can receive asylum on this basis to 1000 a year. Therefore, asylum is granted conditionally, and at the end of the year, the cases are arranged in order of application and 1000 cases are changed to full asylum.
