Immigrants' List Petitions Chertoff
Sends 10,000 signature petition calling for acceptance of I-485 Adjustment of Status Filings

WASHINGTON, DC - Today Immigrants' List, the bipartisan PAC dedicated to meaningful immigration reform, sent a 10,000 signature petition to Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff. The petition was in response to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services decision to reject applications to adjust status (I-485) filings.

"We are calling on Secretary Chertoff to accept the I-485 adjustment of status filings," said Executive Director Drew Seman. "Doing so is a step towards restoring fairness to our broken immigration system."

Immigrants' List launched the petition on the evening of Thursday, July 12th. The petition is viewable online at http://www.immigrantslist.org/Chertoff .

"The signature rate has been increasing exponentially since the launch of the petition," said Seman. "We collected over 4,500 signatures yesterday alone and expect the signatures to continue to pour in until Secretary Chertoff, the Department of Homeland Security, and USCIS act on this matter.
