                    [Summary] => I have long suspected that with the way the California Service Center (CSC) adjudicates humanitarian revalidation requests, it is virtually impossible for any beneficiary in the Philippines to qualify.

                    [Summary] => 

Ordinarily, I write this Immigration Column to advise and inform people about immigration news, laws, benefits, and procedures. However, this week, I am writing directly to the Fil-Am officers and adjudicators at the California Service Center (CSC) about the apparent assembly line, form denials of Humanitarian Revalidation requests.

The view from her window seat did not interest 21-year-old Stefanie Macasieb as much as it did her two younger brothers. The flight attendants brushed past her several times but she also failed to notice. Like their mother Elizabeth, this was the Macasieb children’s first time to travel outside the Philippines.

Stefanie was excited about the flight, but the events of the last six months kept playing in her mind. She still found it hard to believe that their family would be stepping on US soil in a few hours. It was too good to be true.

Under present law, if the petitioner dies while the petition or application is pending, the petition is "automatically revoked", unless the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) reinstates the petition due to humanitarian or family reunification reasons. However, even if INS grants "Humanitarian Revalidation", the law still requires that the petitioner submit an affidavit of support.
