You know, isabel, I have wondered this time and time again. I have finally learned to chalk it up to: If it is this way, they obviously have their reasons... however DUMB they may be....

Can't you come over on a visitor visa and stay for 90 days? That's what Sean and I are going to do. We can't stand this being apart b**s** anymore! :P

Do you really want to give the USCIS more of your money and delay the processing even more by giving them more work to do?

I don't think so!

I think the reasoning would be that, if you can afford the time to come and 'live' with your significant other, then there is a possibility that you won't return to your home country. Of course, anyone going through this crazy process would not do that, because it would compromise their chances of getting in at all. I know this, but I think that is the logic that is being used.

As suggested, use the VWP for a visit.

Your wife/husband can visit USA with their EU passport for 3 months without ever stopping by an embassy.

Just imagine other people from other countries which the US requires a visa. And when they apply for the visa, they hear " you must wait for your immigrant visa to be issued"

So pleasee people, dont cry too loud. If someone has to cry, those are the ones from poor countries which the INS does heavy research on them and much harder give them their visa. And definitely no visit during this wait.

Ohh especialy Canadians, pleaseee. You guys are only hours away from the US border. And most of the time, they wouldnt even ask you for a visa for the passage.

I know I am being rude but crying here in front of peole who are actualy in worst positions is mean as well.
