Well my fiance's visa application has been thrown into administrative processing just a week after she was approved. Today was her last day on her job since she was planning on flying over a week from now. Now... Who knows? It feels like the government just stole my happiness and gave me an IOU. Naturally we're out half the cost of the plane flight and it's thrown both our schedules right out the window. The worst part about this is there's nothing I can do. Calling more than every 2-3 weeks won't help either. I'm feeling rather lost today.
Had a friend. Wanted to bring his girlfriend over on a fiancee visa. Process took about 18 months. Did not have a happy ending, but that wasn't the government's fault. She showed up eventually. He was an American citizen, born and bred. Have another friend. Wanted to bring his girlfriend over on a fiancee visa. He paid a lawyer in Beverly Hills $25k and she was here three weeks later. Six weeks later they were married. Oh, and by the way, he wasn't even a citizen. Dual French-Uruguayan citizenship. 01 visa. So, it's not like there's nothing you can do... it's just likely there's nothing you can afford to do. AMERICA!
