All the while. he was also worrying which box to check to become a U.S. citizen. After that. Kendells application was derailed by immigration three times. First. after his mother checked the correct box saying Kendell was in the military. Immigration sent the application to the wrong office. not the office that handles military applications. Second. Immigration rejected the fingerprints he sent them. with no explanation. Kendell had his fingerprints taken when he joined the military. He had an FBI background check for the military. We have high standards to be in the U.S. military. There was no reason Immigration could not have used the fingerprints taken when he joined the military. but they refused. Third. and finally. Kendell was told to get his fingerprints retaken in Marylandbut he was in Iraq fighting a war. His mother called 1800 Immigration. Thats supposed to be the HELP line. She told them: My boy is in Baghdad. he cant come to Baltimore to get fingerprinted. She would have loved for her son to come to Baltimore. but he was fighting in a war. fighting for America. Immigration told Kendells mom there was nothing they could do. They were wrong. That was the wrong information.
