Dear Ann Landers in a recent column you said All Chain Sellera go straight into your wastebasket. May i offer an alternative when you receive a Chain letter that asks you to Send Money or anything else of value please take a moment to place the letter including the envelope in which it came into another envelope. Send it to Post Al inspector with the name of your City and zip code. It does t even require a stamp. The postal inspection service docs an excellent Job of putting a Stop to Chain letters mostly because it is easy to get a conviction. But they must have the Evi Dence. Every Day thousands of people in this country receive Chain tetters. If Only a Small percentage would take a minute or two and follow these instructions they could put an end to these scams. One Point to consider a great Many Chain letters contain a statement saying this is not a Chain let Ter. It has been approved l y the postal if in doubt Don t worry about it the postal inspector will decide whether it s Legal or not.

It to u pm klan Orn of process now to obtain immigrant visas we note from a recent Shari and stripes article that a record number of service families will leave Europe this fall on rotation Back to the United states. Some of these families will undoubtedly include newly acquired foreign National dependents. As the office responsible for issuing immigrant visas to aliens throughout the fro the consulate general in Frankfurt would like to encourage Scricc members who will be leaving this fall and who expect to take foreign National dependents Back Home with them to get started How on the paperwork that will be needed for their visas. Of the roughly 5,500 immigrant visas issued each year by the Frankfurt consulate about 4.000 involve military depends nos and those who wait until the Lasi minute arc not Likely to he accommodated with visa appointments when they want them. The first step in the immigrant visa process is for the sponsor to file a petition with the . Immigration and naturalization service ins. This is done on form -130, copies of which can be obtained from most military personnel centers. When the sponsor and the foreign National dependent arc Bolh in Germany the petition May be tiled at the ins office attached to the consulate in Frank fun. Of the sponsor is already in the United slates the petition must be filed with a stateside ins office. With the petition the sponsor must submit proof of citizenship proof of marriage and proof of Termi nation of All previous marriages. Failure to have divorce decrees from previous marriages on hand Here is the most common cause of delay in this part of the process. Once the petition is approved by an immigration officer it is turned Over to a consular officer in the consulate s visa unit. At that Point the focus of at Tention shifts from the american sponsor to the alien dependent. The visa unit will provide the prospective Immi Grant with a biographic data Sheet and a list of documents that need to be collected. Some of these documents Are the same ones that the sponsor had to present to ins. This duplication is unavoidable however since ins and the visa unit represent two different government agencies he Justice and state departments respectively. The biographic data Sheet should be returned immediately since it forms he basis for further process ing. For applicants who have already lived in the United states for More than six months this process ing includes a mandatory Fri clearance which takes 60 Days. When the alien returns the notice indicating that All required documents Hac been collected and when All internal processing has been completed an appointment will be scheduled for the formal visa interview. On that Date he applicant must appear in Frankfurt undergo a medical examination at one of the consulate s contract physicians and submit inc visa application in a consular officer if everything is in order the visa will be issued on inc Sanil Day. One recurring problem at this Point however is Lack of evidence of support for dependents of service members who Are leaving the service and have no Onward employment arrangements. The Law does nol allow us simply 10 assume Ihal citizens will support their spouses All immigrants must establish document warily thai they will nol be come a Public charge when such evidence is tacking. The visa can Only be issued when the missing documents arc submitted. The entire process described above from the filing of the petition to the appointment for the visa inter View takes on the average two to four months the appointment schedule itself i.e., the last part of the process is usually booked up at least six weeks in Advance. Therefore we would once again encourage service members 10 get started now if they have alien dependents who will need immigrant visas later this year.

Sre Ferdl chief consular Section american consulate general Frankfurt smoking Over ugly american incident i was horrified at a situation Ihal happened recently and equally distressed that the Phenomena of the ugly american is still alive and Well among us. My husband and i were on Board a German charter flight from Tampa to Frankfurt after a Stop in Atlanta to pick up More passengers i headed Back to the smok ing Section of the air plane 10 have a cigarette where 1 discovered a very loud argument in Progress. It seems that when the air plane left Tampa the smoking Section was from Row 26 Back. Then when More passengers got on the plane in Atlanta the airline realized that there were very few smokers on the plane and that the smoking Section would have to be changed. It was a perfectly reasonable and understandable situation. Except for the american couple in their 50s, sealed in Row 26. Their reaction to the simple request to move their seats was beyond belief after the Purser explained very diplomatically that the smoking Section had changed the couple in Row 26 stated very loudly that they weren t about let change. Vehemently demanding that it was their right to sit there that the airline assigned those seals to them and by Golly they were going to stay there by ohm Nam met i Woi Pun i or. Us or pit. Apo my. Law Melon in Mit and smoke whether the airline liked it or not. Talk about wanting to crawl into a Hole it seems to me that very recently another Ameri can pulled a similar stunt but Ihal Lime the Pilot made an unscheduled Landing in London to remove the Man from the plane. Lei me Tell you. None of us on the German charter would have minded a bit to let those folks in Row 26 off in Nova Scotia or some where the situation finally did get resolved but nol until some bad feelings were left behind. What europeans think of americans it teen i come from state interaction with Heads of government. They Deal with governments. And Al s time we americans realize that if the europeans like us or Don t like us really depends on How act As individuals. As for the couple in Row 26, i took it upon myself to apologize to the Purser for your actions wanting him to know that All americans Aren t like that. If it was Loo much trouble for you to change seals on an air plane 1 shudder to think How you d react in an important situation. Linda Swisher Frankfurt Munich. Of Matt curb Bruun. Buttong 0.
