Hello all:)

Don't know if this is the right place to post this but Ill ask. My command has decided to get involved in getting my wife here since the process could take up to a year and I am already living in Govt housing by myself and being paid for her without her being here. Would anyone know the phone number to the head person in ICE? They are talking about doing a letter to get her through customs. My boss is a one star General that worked at the embassy in Kuwait, so he is looking into it. Any suggestions would be great. I know we all have to do this dance, but if there is some this can be done, I will share whatever fruits of our to others in hopes they can bring their spouses here faster.

Allah Bless.

You probably don't want ICE. Since your petition is at USCIS simply file a military expedite (assuming you are qualified) or have your CO call to speak to someone

Good luck

Thanks, USCIS has already approved an expedite request back on the 27th of June. It hasn't moved since then.

I'll bet, it's been "touched" on the 18th of July, but when I call all USCIS says is what is on the webpage. I know there are a lot of immigrants, but it's a shame you can pay for premium expedidte services for immigrant workers, but for your loved ones you have to wait....
