I am glad that you were finally approved.

To write that your experience was outrageous is to undervalue your experience. No one should have to go through this. Certainly no one else.

Please forgive me for asking, but I have two questions for you:

1. Did you do anything to annoy, upset, or otherwise irritate the CSC? Not that this would be an excuse, but maybe the rest of us could benefit by not repeating a mistake you might have made.

2. Did you do anything to cajole, threaten or bride the CSC to finally approve your petition. No blame to you if you did, but maybe the rest of us could benefit from a method of encouraging the processes along.

14 months! Damn!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Love is a gift and not to be earned, therefore one should never hold any regrets for giving love regardless of the outcome...

I actually did have a past situation that did annoy immigration which is partly why it took so long. I was previously married for ten years and I sponsored her from Mexico, the kicker is that a previous employer of mine accused us of a fraudulent marriage and called ICE. We fought in court for six years and the case was dropped because there was no evidence. Well even though immigration is not supposed to use previous situations such as this especially when no charges were filed they did and froze my file for a very long time. After giving them a insane amount of evidence for my fiance and making me do an interview at the local immigration office they finally pushed my file through for approval. All the questions in the interview were about my previous marriage. But thank god I am now past the worst part of this painful process.I did use all the different avenues to get approved and all failed for me because of of the situation above.

Thanks I was in complete shock today because it has been a very traumatic week for me. My mother passed away from cancer last Thursday and now this comes only five days later. It is hard to take it all in at once.
