So today is the magical day #60 post interview. Called national hotline and they were completely useless just merely citing what's already listed online. Just fired off all a long email to my lawyer asking "#######?"" Its now been a full 60 days post interview and nearly 8 months in total. This is a classic example of us being held hostage by one inept and dumb officer who is disorganized and inefficient. Amazing how many lives one person can ruin for so many.


Not sure who my lawyer can talk to break this stalemate. I have already done everything I can in my power including (i) calling national hotline (ii) having my lawyer sent a letter (iii) go on InfoPass (iv) sent in for Congressional help and (v) set up another InfoPass appointment. I am seriously nearing the end of the road and about to just give up.

So the wife just got off the phone with the National Hotline. Of course as expected they said that our case is still being processed and accused us of fabricating an approval. They said if we were approved, we would be given a notice. We brought up the 60 days post interview and they just blankly said to check back in another month if we don't hear anything so they can see what's up. I give up. I hate these annoying and irritating clowns.

So my wife did a "walk-in" appointment as she was getting extremely antsy about the situation. The officer on duty berated her for not having an InfoPass appointment but ended up helping her anyway. The officer confirmed that our original officer has not done anything since we went in two weeks ago and now that she will re-assign our case to someone else to look at. She also said that next Monday (actual date of our appointment) we should come with a plane ticket for a few days after that to force their hand and approve us there and then. Such an odd recommendation
