I am hoping someone out there can answer my question. I will state it succinctly and then provide some details after.
DO LAWYERS AND CONSULTANTS USE THE SAME PROCESS AS INDIVIDUALS TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN INTERVIEW?
Let me explain...
My Filipina fiance and I are trying to obtain a K1 visa for her.
Due to cost, we decided to go the route of doing it all ourselves and not use a lawyer or consulting service.
We are at the point where we have been prompted to schedule an interview for an appointment.
For many days now, there are no appointments available.
The process for getting an interview appointment apparently is to refresh your browser 12 times a day, every 2 hours until it shows an appointment available.
I have read a lot of forums and this seems to be the way you have to do it.
So, that leads to my question... Are the lawyers and consultants seriously sitting at their computers going through this asinine process to get their clients an appointment? Do they have a back door they use to get the appointment slots?
To say I am frustrated is an understatement. You can walk across the southern border and get a free cell phone, accommodations, paychecks, etc., but it takes buku months if you want to do it legally. Government bureaucracy is maddening.
Thanks.
