Your posts make me so angry, but I'll walk the high road right beside you and keep my mouth shut.

I hear you, it's been a while since we have seen an approval.

Can you please do yourself and the rest of us a favor by stop making inflammatory comments and just go away if you have nothing positive to contribute to the discussion? Obviously you don't know much about how this process works and it effects on peoples lives and livelihood. And when you interject yourself into a discussion you know very little about you rightly earn yourself the kind of 'welcome' you have so far received.

Good Grief!

I post a thoughtful comment on delays in processing and I'm met with juvenile name-calling terms such as "troll" and "ignorant." Gee, thanks so much for the warm welcome!

Sorry if many of you took it as lecturing, it wasn't. In the toneless Internet, I could very much say the same of many of your responses towards me.

My guess is that many of the "problems" some of you are encountering are isolated and not typical. My wife was never questioned by her employer when her green card expired, nor was she shaken down by officials at the border (she entered on three separate occasions at separate entry points) when she crossed after the initial card expired.

If your employer has questions about the validity of your status, calmly and coolly explain your situation and have hard documentation handy to explain the law (which is always on your side in cases like this). If the employer still doesn't buy into it, then I have to say he's probably not worth working for nor does he likely value you as an employee.

If an official at the border hassles you notwithstanding proper documentation of your status, then ask to see some rank (supervisor)! I've done it before and it works! The long and the short of it is that virtually every foreign spouse will have to undergo expiration of their green card (unless somehow it gets processed before the two year anniversary) but there are rules in place to avoid all the aforementioned nastiness.

Now...a previous poster commented about exorbitant costs and how many other developed countries process immigrants at little or no cost. Well thats just grand! But the real question is, why isn't the U.S. citizen spouse emigrating to the foreign spouse's country? Seems like it would be easier and lot less stressful given that the developed country's is so immigration-friendly, no? The fact is that your spouses all wanted to come here to live and not the other way around. I think that says a lot about the good ol' U.S.A. Yes, things take longer, but here in the States we run a lot more security checks on any prospective immigrant (and rightly so) than any other country. Personally, I didn't enjoy dealing with the bureaucracy of petitioning to get my wife here but I'm all for it if it means avoiding another 9/11.

And yes Jethro, employment immigration certainly does take longer in most cases than marriage petitions, which is why I offered the example of my Indian friend who has been waiting longer than most of you ever will. Thank you for that Jethro and for not piling on like the others.

There seems to be odd sense of entitlement among a lot of those who post here (i.e. expecting USCIS to handle the 751 inside of three months). Most of those of you who are griping have cases that are still inside the posted processing times. To me, that means it's not your turn yet so just chill and relax. If I could I'd give up my wife's approval and go back in line and wait for a few more months just to accommodate one of you. It's really not a concern to me or my wife because we know it will eventually get done and she keeps all the rights of privileges of any other permanent resident.

I'll stop now. This "troll" will walk away by way of the high road wishing all of you all the best and hoping that your cases are processed soon. Feel free to fire away and flame as much as you wish.

I am hopeful again......I was wondering when they would pick up their work....Let's think positive and hope there is going to be a mass approval today.

I see you hadn't been added and I noticed looking back that you just had your biometrics less than three weeks ago. That's very curious, I wonder how that figured in to the timing of your approval . . . .

So many new faces here on this TSC/VSC looser thread! That really is sad in my opinion...

However I do have some good news for those of you who remember me from the TSC thread. My wife has finally been approved after our appointment in Atlanta yesterday. If anyone is interested in hearing the story (since technically her file was never actually at the VSC) let me know.

The Doc!

Congrats Dr. ZoSo! :dance:

Of course we want to hear your interview story! Do you think it was just a quality control one or did they really have doubts and give you a hard time?

Read all about it!

Good job Doc! Thanks for taking the time to type that all out, I am sure it will be useful to other interviewees.

Oh, and congrats to Ara4!!!
