Coercive Population Control Asylum Conditional Asylees Must Report Current Address
This fact sheet discusses coercive population control (CPC) asylum. It is intended for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for legal advice, nor does it constitute any legal opinion by the Department of Justice. This fact sheet is not fully inclusive; does not address all applicable laws including case interpretation; and may be subject to change as new laws and regulations are enacted.
In 1996, the definition of refugee in asylum law was changed to include individuals who have been persecuted by undergoing a forced abortion, involuntary sterilization, or other resistance to a CPC program (CPC asylum). When first enacted, the number of individuals who could be granted CPC asylum was limited to 1,000 per fiscal year. As a result, individuals granted CPC asylum beyond the 1,000 cap were granted asylum on a conditional basis. On May 11, 2005, the President signed into law H.R. 1268, the “Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, Tsunami Relief, 2005." That law eliminated the numerical limit on CPC asylum grants; therefore, individuals with conditional grants of asylum (CPC asylees) no longer have to wait for a number before being processed for asylee status. However, CPC asylees still cannot receive a final grant of asylum until they clear updated background, identity, and security checks.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) periodically provides the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with an updated list of CPC asylees who were issued conditional grants of asylum by EOIR, but who have not yet cleared the security checks. In these cases, DHS sends scheduling notices for fingerprints to an alien’s last known address on file at EOIR. Accordingly, CPC asylees are reminded of their continuing obligation to provide change of address information to both EOIR and DHS. Incorrect or outdated address information jeopardizes their eligibility for full asylum benefits.

General contractor hired a Sub,final bill overinflated
I had a friend that owed me some money put together the plans to build an outbuilding and erect it. He had to hire 3 carpenters to do the framing and so forth,no problem. The electrician gave an initial bid to my friend and we added a few small things to the initial bid,I.E. some extra outlets and some conduit around a workbench area. I never called the sub to get the bid,I didn't even know this guy.A contract was never signed,no handshake nothing. Now I paid the other sub's personally because the job was being done at cost,due to the money owed to me by my friend. I paid an initial $1500 for materials to the electrician,and another 2k later after getting a bill when all the work was done. The only reason I paid the 2k was that it put us in the ballpark as far as the initial bid. He still claims I owe him $1900 more. Claims the initial bid was not for all the work and materials presented to him at the get go. I told him he was given the initial plan and stated he didn't bid it with the electrical panel included,and that add's $1000.Long story short I recieved small claims court papers today.Now correct me if I am wrong,no contract no pay?I paid him the fair amount.I'm done with him.
