It`s good to read stories like this one. I hope the press keeps it up. USCIS deserves all of the negative publicity it can get. Maybe the more stories like this one (and others recently), one day there`ll be enough pressure put on them that they might actually decide to get their act together. (nice to dream anyhow)

I especially found the part about her noticing so many people around when she comes to visit, who can barely speak english, much less even come close to her education and qualifications, already living here in the US. Kind of hits close to home......with my wife having 2 Masters degrees, and is nearly done with her PhD, and you couldn`t imagine all the hurdles we`ve had in trying to get her here.

Guess 7-Eleven and Mıckey D`s hiring takes priority over the others...... :hehe:

A lot of the immigration process , legal (and illegal :angry: ).....just does not make a lot of sense.......

On a side note....however......if the process WAS taking so long though......geez.....he COULD have just bitten the bullet and married the woman. 4 years was a looooooong time to wait. Was marrying her THAT distasteful a process that being separated for so long was the better alternative? Have to wonder about that part...........

April 16, 2004 Married in Saint Augustine, Florida.

March 7, 2005 Wife left for Istanbul to serve J-1 2 year HRR. Was a very bad day at Black Rock.

May 23, 2006 USCIS receives application for I-130

June 12, 2006 Noa1

Sept 7, 2006 Noa2 I-130 approved

Oct 10 ,2006 Received fee bill from NVC

Nov 13 ,2006 Received Packet 2 DS-230

Jan 4, 2007 Mailed Packet 2 to NVC

Jan 22, 2007 RFE from NVC aaarrrrgggghhh!!!!!!!!

Feb 28, 2007 NVC received "checklist" response and original documents for the RFE

March 13, 2007 Case completed at NVC! Whoooohoooo!! Ankara, here we come!!!!

March 15, 2007 Case fowarded to Ankara Embassy

April 4, 2007 Interview. Wife gets handed the little green paper. Not good. Need to submit a few more things.

April 9, 2007 Items mailed back to Embassy. Crossing fingers, rubbing the "rabbit's foot", etc,..that this may FINALLY be the end.

April 14, 2007 Visa delivered! Wife is finally going to be on her way back home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

April 20, 2007 Wife enters through JFK. The days of grabbing my dinners at the WalMart deli....are now officially over!!!

It's two women...the only state in which they could have married is Massachusetts, and even then the federal government would not recognize their marriage, so she would have been ineligible for a spousal visa.

I am not a practicing attorney. I have a law degree and I passed the bar exam, but am not admitted to practice because I got a job in legal publishing and haven't gotten around to applying for my license yet. Publishing is great, but it does not make you qualified to give legal advice. So I don't. I just want to get married to my fella, which is why I'm here! If you need legal help, seek the advice of a licensed attorney.
