Reply #1: I can sympathize [View All]

My wife is going through a hellish green card process.

We found out 1 week ago that they had lost her fingerprints and that her file had been sitting on somebody's desk since Dec 2002 waiting for my wife to get her fingerprints taken (she had them taken 3/28/02) However, prior to last week, all the calls to INS, all the trips into the local office (and, you have to take a day off to go into INS, as the lines are so long...) and all the appeals that were filed were met with either, "you have to wait" or form letters saying "your request has been referred to the appropriate department."

Meanwhile, friends that were almost in the exact same situation as us (same country of origin, same original reason for coming to the US, etc) that got married well after us already have their green cards.
