If these governors and county judges would shut down fewer businesses, the recessionary effects would be mitigated somewhat.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

If they don't, people are going to die.

     They are not shut things down because they enjoy it.

Our Mayor issued an Emergency declaration and asked for social distancing  .

 

It is going to be interesting when I go in tomorrow and tell them I no longer feel comfortable attending a morning meeting with 23 people in a 15 x 15 room . As I have said the meeting is about nothing but good morning.

 

Several have suggested in the meeting they dont feel comfortable and were told in the typical manager idiotic I am god manner.  Ain't no regulation stopping this meeting, this ain't California

Go in and as soon as the meeting starts, begin coughing into your elbow.  About once every 30-45 seconds should do the trick.

     Personally I would wait outside until they were done. Is that an option?
