Thanks Cieru. Thats the plan. It's just a little frustrated to know that what appears to be an oversight is keeping me from freedom. In the 1 year training manual, the distinction is drawn between a delay in filing vs a late filing. A delay in filing (according to their manual) is the lag between the changed circumstance and the actual filing of the application after becoming aware of the changed circumstance. A late filing is decribed as filing over 1 year after last arrival date in US.
In my case, she asserted that I have established changed circumstance that materially affected my DELAY IN FILING, but that I did not file on time after becoming aware of the changed circumstance. I dont see how since only 7 weeks had elapsed. I could only think of one thing; she mistaken the year to be 2009 instead of 2010 which would have made the delay over 14 months.
