I understand that the Secretary of State has approved special immigrant status for me under the provisions of INA 101(a)(27)(D) and that
such approval remains valid for one year. In accordance with INA 204(a)(1)(G)(ii), I hereby petition for status under 203(b)(4) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act. I understand that the petition, if approved, remains valid for six months. If granted such status, I will pursue
my application for an immigrant visa immediately upon being notified that my petition has been approved. Also, upon approval of my
petition, if I am then employed by the United States Government, I certify that I intend permanent separation from such employment no later
than the date of my departure for the United States following issuance of an immigrant visa. I swear or affirm that all statements which
appear in this petition are true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that any willfully false or misleading
statement or willful concealment of a material fact made by me herein may subject me to permanent exclusion from the United States.
