Re: expidite adjustment of status

Unfortunately, INS does not guarantee the success of each application. INS as an entity also has no control over the processing time of FBI fingerprint unit. A bill proposed by Rep. Lamar Smith called the "1999 Child Protection Act" may grant your child retroactive adjustment status. You should contact your congressman about this.
