Do the CC's make such a distinction?

Leslie, Students in this situation can be very insistent, but it's helpful to know that until the petition is approved, INS can decide to deny that petition. That is why we have to wait until it is approved (not pending) and her passport is stamped or she has the perm res card. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Virjean H.
