The Value of Articles from MURTHY!
Posted Sep 27, 2007
Murthy Law Firm has received numerous testimonials from readers over the
years who have told us how information from our WebSite or eNewsletter
helped them in their immigration cases.
We consider it our duty and an honor to arm the immigrant community with
information for maintaining control of their lives as impacted by
immigration laws and procedures.

We have been informed by readers of MurthyDotCom and the
MurthyBulletin of articles that have helped to change or influence the
decisions of U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials. Some of
our readers have carried print-outs of our articles with relevant
information, to be prepared when making requests at local offices - and even
when traveling and returning from abroad. Individuals who were given I-94
cards with incorrect expiration dates (based on visa stamps instead of H1B
approvals) have shown our article and obtained the correct I-94 expiration
date. In one case, one who was denied H1B status upon reentry to the U.S.
based on the I-485 having been filed, showed our website article, a group of
CBP officials gathered around, discussed the matter, did some research, and
then allowed the person to enter the U.S. in H1B status! Word often reaches
our firm from those who show our articles at airports and other ports of
entry resulting in issuance of Forms I-94, Advance Parole (AP) entry, or
resolving questionable situations in the favor of the foreign national.

Most recently, we at the Murthy Law Firm received a letter from a client who
shared his story of how one of our articles helped him and his wife with
their immigration case. He had read our August 31, 2007 MurthyBulletin
article, Ombudsman:
USCIS Service Centers and Lockboxes, which provides a summary of the
teleconference with the CIS Ombudsman held on August 23, 2007. In that
teleconference, the Ombudsman specifically noted that he "has been engaging
in discussions with the USCIS filed offices, in an effort to institute a
uniform policy to assist EAD applicants with applications pending for 75
days or more." Furthermore, he encouraged the teleconference participants
"to notify his office if and when a field office refuses to request the
production of an interim EAD card, when the application has been pending for
approximately 75 days from the date of application." Because the EAD
applications of our client and his wife had been pending for approximately
75 days, the client took a printout of the MurthyBulletin article to his
InfoPass appointment at his local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration (USCIS)
office to request an interim EAD. According to this individual, the USCIS
officer read the article and submitted an interim card request without any
further questions.

These articles prove helpful because we take great care to accurately
summarize and explain current law and policy. In a large governmental
organization, changes in policy, law, and regulation do not always get
communicated to all levels quickly and efficiently. Thus, MurthyDotCom
and MurthyBulletin articles on such changes have proven helpful on
these points, as all the information that we provide can be verified by the
particular government official, if the need arises.

We encourage our readers to continue to make the best use of the information
on our website. We are very happy to hear such success stories, based on the
information we provide. Readers can rely on our up-to-date information and
the value of our practical advice. Of course, as always, the
MurthyBulletin, while valuable, is free!
