anytime i am just sick and tired of the embassy in DR trying to keep families apart without no proof and making our lives miserable because they have the upper hand but i hope that Obama does get the immigration law passed to keep families together because this is crazy, even a murderer is able to prove his innocence until proven guilty by the court of law, so we should have the right to prove our reelationship.....and not give up without a fight:)

Just wanted to advised all on something i didnt even know until i was denied.....if u are denied u have the right to appeal the same day at window 26 or 27 before ur case is sent back to uscis for them to reconsidered your case to be reopen, but you have to summit a letter stating everything on your interview there is a great lawyer by the name of Marisol Acosta that has an office 2 blocks from the embassy that will prepare a letter for you to take to the general consul. She did it for us the day after our interview and summited it via email and personally at the embassy and i have to say that the consul responded back via email to my lawyer in friday March 9 advising to her that he will review our case before it is sent back to uscis, so now i have hope. it cost me not even 120 dolares and its worth it. So to all upcoming interviews there is hope if u get denied and there are options, so make sure u visit her office before coming back to NY its worth a try.......:)

Thank you! Will be sure to jot this info down!
