Here is an excerpt from the "Murthy Chat" from 5/26/03.
============================
Chat User : Have you heard about two AC21 cases that were denied by the Baltimore local office due to geographical job differences? How will that affect the AC21 rule, if at all?
Attorney Murthy : Actually, if we are thinking of the same two cases, the Baltimore District Office did not deny both cases but sent them up to the AAO or Administrative Appeals Office for certification or opinion on how they should proceed. Apparently, they were concerned that AC21 should have some restrictions, but were not sure about its limitations on those two cases. We are very well aware of those cases.
