Dear Ken: The purpose of this note is to seek your help in becoming a
citizen of the US. I've been a Houston-based employee of Enron for nearly 10 years, of which seven were with the Dabhol project. I obtained my green card in 1992, which entitled me to apply for US citizenship in 1997. I recently went through the final interview and was awaiting a call to take oath. Instead, the INS denied my application for citizenship on grounds of my extensive travel. This, despite the fact that: (1). A disqualification can be made only if an applicant is - out of the country for a continuous period of six months; or - is out of the country for more than 30 months in the sixty month period after the green card. (Neither of these apply to me). (2). I had filed a notification to the INS immediately after getting my green card (in 1992) informing them that I will be travelling extensively on business. Filing this notification allows me to travel without the restrictions mentioned above. Ken, I need your help on two fronts: (1). Support in filing an appeal to the INS. This will cost an outside counsel between $1500-$3000. (2). Request my US Representative Mr.DeLay to send the attached letter to the local INS administrator. I believe this will clear the way for my becoming a citizen of the US, to which I eagerly look forward.
