We are at the University of Louisville Louisville, KY. In the state of KY, so
far, there hasn't been any LAD files accepted. We were rejected because non of
us were able to provide acceptable birth and marriage certificates which,
asrequested by the immigration office of KY ( not in any other state to my
knowledge), has to be notarized by the American embassy in Beijing. This
request makes us very concerned. Not only would most of us be unable to get
such documents from Beijing, also, as somebody did try, the American embassy
in Beijing had refused to do it saying that they don't have such authority and
responsibility. The officer in KY INS said that he had known that the other
states had been accepting LAD applications without such requests, but what he
was doing was according to the policy from INS in Washington D.C. and it was
not negotiable. It is mid August now, and we don't see any hope of changing
attitude of thelocal INS officer. It seems very likely that all LADs in KY
willlose this chance and be facing serious problem of losing status soon. By
posting in this network we are hoping to get the attention and help from any
possible ways. We are also hoping to have the INS headquarter noticed through
you and,if it is possible,it would be the best to have someone in the INSheadq
uarter in Washington D.C. to inform the local INS office in Louisville, KY.

Thank you very much for your attention and help.
