Pastoral Letter

July 12, 2010

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

A fellow Christian is in need of your help. Mrs. Joo Hyun Lee of Salisbury MD, a member of Salisbury Korean United Methodist Church, has been denied permanent residency in the United States and has been ordered to return to South Korea within 30 days.

Mrs. Lee and her husband filed for permanent residency in 2002. Legal fees have exceeded $60,000 which has exhausted their resources. Her husband became a permanent resident in January of this year. They have two children ages 4 and 6, both born in America and both citizens of the United States. So her entire family has a permanent right to live here, except her. If she leaves for South Korea, the family will be broken apart.

Please contact your US Senator or Representative for help in this matter. For those in Maryland this would be: Sen. Barbara Mikulski (410-546-7711), Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin (410-962-4436), and Rep. Frank M. Kratovil, Jr. (410-334-3072). Ask them to contact the US Citizenship and Immigration Services to reconsider Mrs. Lee’s case and approve her application for permanent residency. Please refer to her case: Application Number (receipt number) EAC-0228450246 or A-95-641-843.

Thanks you for your efforts and concern. May God bless you.


Rev. Jeffrey T. Howard, Pastor
Beaver Dam and Pitts Creek Presbyterian Churches
