...after they dropped the F%@#!&G ball and denied my wife her permanent resident status - because our interviewing officer FAILED to wait the 2 days that she gave us to come up with a cosponsor and paperwork (which we did) before she made her decision.
And the paperwork will say exactly this (unless someone here can give me a VALID reason to modify it):
"On October 25th 2006 my wife and I had our interview for her change of status to permanent resident.
During the interview Officer Sampat asked my wife if I was working and my wife stated, honestly, that I had lost my job a few weeks before our interview.
Officer Sampat gave us 2 days to come up with a cosponsor and all required paperwork and forms before she made her decision.
We got a cosponsor and all required forms and paperwork to this office within the allotted time, but we received a decision letter, written on the same day that I delivered our cosponsor’s paperwork to this office, stating that my wife was ineligible to change her status to permanent resident because I had lost my job.
It is clear that Officer Sampat DID NOT wait for or review our cosponsors paperwork BEFORE she made her decision, as she said she would.
My wife and I see this as EXTREMELY unfair.
My wife and I came to this office again on November 21 to try to speak to a supervisor about this and to try to get this resolved.
We were not permitted to see a supervisor but we were ASSURED that a “service” motion to reopen was submitted and that our case is still being considered and reviewed. We were also told that our I-130 was approved and that this office acknowledges that my wife and I have a bonafide marriage / relationship – which we do.
My wife has an 11 year old daughter back in Colombia that she hasn’t seen in 4 years, who she CANNOT visit until this situation is taken care of. I’m afraid, at the rate things are going, they will be UNRECOGNIZABLE to each other when they see each other again.
My wife’s mother hints that her health may be failing her. I would like for my wife to be able to visit HER soon too, and resume their relationship, before God forbid the unthinkable happens.
My wife is also looking forward to a career as a Spanish teacher here in the United States, but she cannot pursue that until this is taken care of.
Finally, we are BOTH looking forward to going on with our lives together, with us both being able to work and contribute to the household.
This is putting a lot of stress on our relationship – my wife worries about this night and day. It’s almost all that she talks about and there is nothing I can say about it to make her happy, content or patient. And there is certainly nothing I can do about it. She is normally a very happy, kind and optimistic woman but this situation is eating away at her and changing her for the worse. This is truly a nightmare at times.
It is not fair that our case be thrust into indefinite bureaucratic limbo OR that we should have to consider the costs of refiling everything to try to expedite our case BECAUSE the interviewing officer did not keep her word and wait 2 days for our cosponsor’s paperwork before she made her decision, as she said she would.
I’m asking that you please resolve this and let my wife and I get on with our lives."

I will strongly encourage you to send a new I-485, G325a, I-864 with your co-sponsor, I-693 just before the holiday season ends. So that in January they can start to process your new I-485 form, and get a new interview and be approved.
What kind of job are you qualified to do? I am willing to do some research online to see if I can send you possible matches for your qualifications.... 
I am sure there are people in the area where you live who participate in this discussion, and can probably get you an interview if you are qualified for position(s) where they work....
