My wife received notice today that she was "ineligible to adjust status to lawful permanent resident alien" stating that I "failed to overcome the excluding provisions of Section212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act"............basically because I am currently unemployed.
WHAT REALLY F'IN BURNS ME UP is the fact that the decision was sent out on Friday EVEN THOUGH they gave us until Friday morning to come up with a cosponsor with an affidavit of support I-864 - WHICH WE DID (my brother and his wife took in just under $100,000 for each of the last 3 years) AND IT APPEARS THEY DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT WHEN THEY MADE THEIR DECISION.
NOW *I* have to go through the formal BS and whatever fees that it costs me to file for a reconsideration or to have the case reopened based on the co-sponsor and I-864 THEY FAILED TO LOOK AT.
IN ADDITION TO THAT I have to go back to my brother's place and have him gather up ALL THAT STUFF AGAIN and make copies and then have them sign a new affidavit of support.
THEY ought to do what is right and overturn it AUTOMATICALLY once the officer gets around to reading all of the forms and evidence we delivered to her on Friday - WITHOUT us having to trigger that.
SHE gave us until Friday to get her the cosponsor and everything and we BROKE OUR ASS to get her EVERYTHING she asked for and EVERYTHING that should be enough to have us be approved - but SHE dropped the ball and failed to remember that she gave us until Friday morning to come up with this - and SHE failed to read the new evidence and information that we delivered.
What burns me up is she told us to go right to her and give her that stuff but security REFUSED to allow us and made us deliver that packet to them. My wife is PO'd because she thinks I should have politely demanded and more or less begged them to let us see the officer - but it was clear to me they were not going to let us see the officer and begging and friendly persuasion was not going to do any good.
My father thinks I should try to track down a number for USCIS and explain what happened, but I don't know if there is anyone that I can talk to that can or would do anything for me WITHOUT going through the time consuming and sometimes expensive formal BS.
