DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[INS No. 1831-97]
Important Announcement for Class Members of American Baptist
Churches v. Thornburgh (ABC) Regarding Changes of Address and Temporary
Closure of the ABC Post Office Box
AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization Service, Justice.
ACTION: Notice Regarding Changes of Address and Temporary Closure of
ABC Post Office Box.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This Notice informs ABC class members who previously submitted
a Change of Address Form (I-855) to the ABC Post Office Box in
Washington, DC, between the period July 1, 1996, through December 6,
1996, that they will need to resubmit these forms to the address listed
in this notice. This action is necessary since the ABC Post Office Box
was temporarily closed, and mail received between the period August 14,
1996, through December 6, 1996, was either returned to the sender by
the Post Office or was never properly received by the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (``the Service''). This notice also reminds ABC
class members of the need to notify the Service of any change in
address and explains how to obtain change of address forms and other
information about ABC.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 18, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joanna Ruppel, Asylum Officer, Asylum
Division, Office of International Affairs, Immigration and
Naturalization Service, 425 I Street, NW., Washington, DC, 20536, Attn:
ULLICO, Third Floor; Telephone number (202) 305-2741.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Any ABC class member who previously sent a
Change of Address Form (Form I-855) to the ABC Post Office Box between
July 1, 1996, through December 6, 1996, must resubmit that change of
address form immediately to the following address: ABC Project,
Immigration and Naturalization Service, P.O. Box 96821, Washington, DC
20090.
The ABC Post Office Box was mistakenly closed, and mail received at
the ABC Post Office Box between August 14, 1996, and December 6, 1996,
was returned to sender or otherwise not properly received by the
Immigration and Naturalization Service. The Service regrets any
inconvenience this error has caused class members.
All ABC class members are reminded that they must notify the
Service at the ABC Post Office Box within 10 days of any change of
address. An ABC class member may lose the right to an ABC asylum
interview and may have his or her asylum request denied if he or she
fails to appear for an interview because the Service did not receive
written notification of the address change. The Service encourages any
class member who is unsure whether the Service has the most recent
address to resend his or her address to the ABC Post Office Box listed
in this notice.
Other than by request, the Service will begin ABC interviews no
sooner than April 7, 1997, and interview notices will not be issued
until 60 days from the date of this notice. Any ABC class member may
request an expedited ABC interview by sending a written request to the
Asylum Office that has jurisdiction over the applicant's place of
residence.
An ABC class member may call 1-800-755-0777 to obtain information
and to order ABC change of address forms and a list of legal service
organizations provided by attorneys representing the ABC class. The
legal service organizations on the list may be able to help class
members who have questions or need advice.
Note: The attached ABC Change of Address Form, Form I-855, will
not appear in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Dated: January 7, 1997.
Doris Meissner,
Commissioner, Immigration and Naturalization Service.
