i wonder if anyone has any advice? i am a US citizen; my wife had an AOS interview for her green card(marriage based) which we were unable to attend due to car trouble. INS service center said to write a letter requesting a new date which we have done, although they added that our request may not be granted. an immigration lawyer my wife has been speaking to suggests that she can definitely get us a new hearing, but that if we wait until after INS denies our written request we have no more legal options. personally, i think she's full of it. does anyone know what to do in this situation??
