IMBRA is very poorly written, confusing and vague and that is why it has been a nightmare to implement. As result, the whole visa process has come to a halt. Currently, there are two ongoing lawsuits to overturn IMBRA but the Tahirih Justice Center (TJC) is fighting like a crazed animal to prevent its demise. Since TJC helped to write this confusing law, I believe the least it can do is to offer its help to resolve this visa fiasco.
