When Clinton signed the LIFE Act in 2000, the K3 visa was created which allowed spouses to enter the U.S. while waiting for the I-130 process to be completed. The foreign spouse could then adjust status in the U.S. GREAT IDEA!! Since January of this year, NVC in all it's wisdom decided, because processing times were about the same, the K3 was no longer needed. It is the responsibility of the Bureaucrats in any government agency to administer the laws pretty much as they see fit. Politicians come and go, but the bureaucrats remain, and short of being found guilty of some crime, they are secure in their jobs. It has been 6 months since I have seen my wife of 11 years and 2 USC daughters. I have at least 4 to 5 months to go before we will be re-united. I knew the process would be long, but didn't count on the insensitivity and ineptitude of the my government servants. What makes this process somewhat bearable is being able to read the posts of others going through the same hardships. Skype helps, but is a mixed blessing sometimes. To be able to see my wife and kids is great, but at the same time it hurts not being able to reach out and touch them. No matter what happens, I am committed to seeing this process through to the end. I know that eventually they will be here, and nothing will ever separate us again!! Happy New Year to all, and here's KNOWING that we will all be re-united with our families soon!!!

I know what you're saying. I had a technique, Ide call - and then call again about 30 mins later. making notes of names, id numbers of individuals I spoke with. I rarely spoke about my case with a csr (or rather my wife did - as Im the beneficiary so to speak). I told her as they were so useless to speak with a Tier 2. And, believe me, if you get conflicting information or incorrect info on your case, when you ask to speak with a T2's Supervisor, they soon pull their finger out and take you seriously.

If anyone is pinning their hopes on getting solid case info from a csr - you could not only be in for a longer wait (for a decent answer) but also you're in line for basically what could amount to being told anything on the phone just to get rid of you.
