US Immigration from Madagascar

We still have more cases in our week than anyone else except 2 weeks in January. Has any of the longtime group members seen anything like this before? I feel like I'm in a restaurant waiting 20 minutes for my order while seeing other people walk in and walk out.

I think I'm going to get an RFE. I did my own packet before I found this site. I learned a lot of stuff on here that I didn't see in other parts of the internet. I didn't copy all pages of my passport. I see that I should have from reading here (but I don't remember seeing anything about that in the instructions the government supplied). I also only did a computer print out of my fiancee passport photo. I saw other people got RFE'd and were asked to supply a glossy photo. Finally, I'm unsure about my birth certificate, I might get an RFE for not copying the back, even though nothing is really on the back. If I do get one, hopefully it will not extend my application for than a month.

Me and my fianc e (have not gotten k1 yet) want to have children but she wants to start right away. I do too but I don't want too much extra headaches with expenses, , paperwork and immigration. So I thought of the idea of trying for a baby after marriage and before adjustment of status. We will get a "permission to travel" paper (I forget the name) after filing to adjust status. She will give birth in her home country and come back. Because we will be married, I assume the process of bringing the child back will be much easier than if not.

Do anyone see any legal issues or problems with this idea?

My wife applied for a social security card when she came to the United States last December. She received her social security number at the office, but her card was lost in the mail. Because the social security offices are closed, she was told to send in her original passport, birth certificate, and other documents to receive a new card. She does not feel comfortable doing that. The banks I do business with require my wife to produce her social security card to open an account. Legally, she isn't required to do so, but the banks policies that I know of require it. Anyone have any suggestions for her to open a bank account?

I was laid off a week before my fiance moved to the US on a K1 visa. We married a couple days after she arrived, and then we filed the i-134 papers. Because I was laid off, I needed a joint sponsor. My employer brought me off of layoff since then. I now have enough income to satisfy any financial support requirements to my spouse. Is there any way to free the joint sponsor of legal and financial obligations to my spouse? My spouse's green card interview is next week.
