“We are concerned that USCIS is not appropriately considering (Kamran’s) decade of service,’” says their letter to Nielsen, which was drafted by Denham, an Air Force veteran, and Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland.

Denham, meanwhile, promised to “continue to push for answers on (Kamran’s) case.”
