Finally. The long awaited letter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) arrived in today’s mail. The subject of the letter is “Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case”. The letter explains that USCIS has determined that an interview may be unnecessary to complete the permanent residency application. I took that as a hopeful sign that things might be moving forward more expeditiously henceforth.
Ah, but no so fast! After all, this is the U.S. government we are talking about here. The letter goes on to state that “Due to workload factors not related to your case, USCIS anticipates a delay in completing your case.” How long a delay? Six fucking months from the date of the letter (August 2). So, that puts us into February. What a cluster fuck.
So, I guess it’s move on to plan B. Jee Yeun has to go back to Korea prior to the expiration of her lease in December. She needs to kick a non-paying tenant out of the apartment she owns, and she needs to move from the apartment she is currently renting (well, it’s a key money lease, but you get my meaning). As I mentioned in a previous post, Jee Yeun is technically not allowed to leave the country while her green card application is pending. However, I can file another form with USCIS asking for a waiver of that provision.
I’m reluctant to take that step because the USCIS website warns that such a course of action “may” delay approval of the permanent residency application. So, it appears I’m screwed either way. Well, nothing much to be done about it at this point. I reckon I’ll have to ask for the waiver and take my chances. What bullshit this is.
In the letter carrier’s mixed bag today I also received my brand spanking new set of Black Widow fixed point tungsten darts. Sweet. Looks like I’m going to have plenty of time to break them in here in South Carolina.
Ready to put the bite on my opponents!
what’s the hold-up? i guess it’s because Obama is allowing millions of under-aged illegal immigrants to change status in the states (under the notorious DREAM ACT), all of sudden, USCIS workers are being overwhelmed by such an increase of workload, they just simply don’t have enough time to process the top priority applications (for immediate relatives of a US citizen), logically no quota is needed for this category, these cases should be processed in the quickest manner, but Obama sees those under-aged illegals as his priority, because all those kids may become potential voters for democrats once their status have changed, it would be a big gain for democrats, besides that, most of those illegals have poor education, no skills, they will be much more dependent on government assistance than those employment-based immigrants, therefore, it would be more likely that they would cast votes for democrats.
Thanks for commenting! After carefully reviewing your comment I can find absolutely nothing to disagree with. In fact, I’m almost certain that the “workload unrelated to the application” is indeed the result of processing illegals. We are totally screwed as a nation I fear.
