Your Petitioner has no alternative but to approach again the

Chinese Authority in Shanghai for permission to leave China for

Hong Kong strongly relied on reasons as mentioned hereof. Finally

the Chinese Authority granted her with permission to leave China and issued her with an "Exit-Permit" (Chinese "b" character number

0694046) in December 1978 25th.

That your Petitioner arrived at Hong Kong via Lo-wu, New

Territories, Kowloon on the strength of the abovementioned exit-

permit on 22nd day of January 1979 (it was later seven days later

than the enforcement of the "Chinese Immigrants Control New Policy"

effective on 15th day of January 1979) and is permitted to remain

here until 21st day of March 1979.

To the best of her knowledge, your Petitioner verily

belives that her husband has not sufficient time or chance for

her husband to apply before hand to the Director of Immigration

for permission in respect of your Petitioner to enter Hong Kong

and to remain unconditionally/or permanently prior to her de-

parture. It is for the reason that the notice giving to the

public concerning the effect of the new policy governing the

Chinese immigrants from China was too short and in a sudden and

thus resulted thousands and thousands of such applications were

tendered. The Immigration Department is now short-handed in

handling those applications which of no doubt would take the

department a considerable time to sensor them before apporvals

were given.
