I definitely agree with you about asking the wrong people. I just wanted to give it a shot; I just might have a chance to stumble on someone who has a similar situation

I asked a couple of lawyers and they both say different things. Deep in my heart, I know they they kind of hibernated my case until further notice! I think I will wait for a year and then I might consider filing Mandamus (suing USCIS) and they willl be forced to decide within a specific period of time. We shall see what happens. 

USCIS doesn't issue visas.  They approved your petition.  USCIS is not stopping the issue of your visa.

Let me explain to you what it is to be Syrian  

 

I am not exaggerating that ONLY less than 15 countries in the WHOLE  world allow Syrians who live in Syria to get into their land with a visa or visa on arrival! ONLY 4 of these countries are accessible anyways. They are Lebanon, Iran, Sudan, and Malaysia. The other countries are not accessible because they are remote and there will be many layovers; therefore, the layover countries do not allow Syrians to board planes so that they do not ask for asylum. The reason countries of the world are not giving visas is that they are afraid Syrians will seek asylum or stay in their country illegally. if you are Syrian, unless you have a permanent residency in another country and have a load of money in your bank account, it is a dream to obtain a visa! 

 

Mexico plan is a great one if we can get her a visa; I already live in California! Right now we are planning to have my wife get to Turkey and I will try to  visit Turkey every 2-3 months.  Getting to Turkey will cost us $3000  yes, you read it right, in order for my wife to get from Aleppo to Turkey (50 miles away), we are paying $3000. -

That is what it means to be a Syrian nowadays

 

I feel your pain buddy - We live in very strange times. I hope it gets better - I know its hard to see the silver lining, but when this mess is finally over, and you are with your spouse, you'll value each other a lot more than if you had otherwise.

 

I hope a few hundred years from now there is no religion, no countries and everyone is blue or purple. So we dont use these stupid classifications to discriminate against each other. That is if we havent already nuked ourselves to extinction.

 

Just a word of advice though - dont vent on these forums. Folks here have very little empathy when it comes to things that do not affect them.

By not treating me as a second class citizen (I am a US citizen)?! By allowing my wife to come here since she went through the whole visa process for 15 months just like anyone else?

Thanks buddy, you are right about the venting. I am doing my best to refrain from writing here so that I do not get some cold-blooded comments; it is just hard sometimes to feel the pressure and not release it  

Thanks for being supportive.

 Dont release it here - it will just aggravate you further. Screaming into a pillow or punching a wall is better than venting here :-).

That's how they can solve it, but I asking you how the problems you mentioned in Syria, are the US Government's problem to solve at all.  I'm not familiar with the terms of the travel ban.  If it is just a matter of additional security checks and a visa will eventually be issued to the qualifying, security checked spouse of a US Citizen, then the "solution" is already in place.  You just don't like how long it's taking.  If there IS....NO....solution in place, then get your State's Senior US Senator involved working in your behalf.
