Arrrrrghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Okay, a little background. Fiancee had initial interview on the 12th of July. She was sent away with a demand for a joint sponsor.

Found one, and sent the papers to the lawyer in Bangkok. They got them on the 20th. All looked good. Lawyer said they would resubmit them on the 23rd, as the embassy only allows resubmissions on Mondays between 1 and 3pm. They anticipated an immediate decision, and a receipt given to pick up the visa the next day. HA!!!

So, yesterday I asked that the lawfirm accompany my fiancee to give her moral support and maybe head off any new problems that may crop up.

They got there right on time and there were at least 30 others that had been told to have more paperwork for their visas. 30!!!

So they took everyone's papers and instead of approving anyone on the spot, like normal, they cried that they were overloaded and that everyone could come back next Monday for a decision on their papers.

Cripes!!!! What the heck is up with the government?!?!? Another week. Another delay.

I am feeling like they want to delay a bunch of folks to after August 1st so that they will be required to pay the new fees for AOS!

What #######. My lawyer says they used to get one 221(g) per year. And there were 30 just last week.

It just goes on and on and on.....

I don't think the Embassy has a horse in that particular race. That is USCIS, and the Embassy is part of the State Department.

I have my own delays, though. They have not recieved the medical documents from Bumrungrad yet. Bumrungrad said, from looking at the chest XRays, that they thought my wife's lungs were filled with water, and wanted to run 2 more months of tests before they released the papers. The interview went great, pending reciept of said medical docs, which still have not been recieved, despite Bumrungrad clearing her last Friday.

This is extremely frustrating.

Semantics aside, call it what and whom you will, if she had had her interview one week earlier, she would have been here 3 weeks ago.

Good to know my tax dollars are going towards more waste and delays.
