I applied for my wife's residence here in the US (I am a native US citizen). She was here for over a year during which time an I-485 application was submitted.
She also recieved a work authorization and SSN. We thought everything was fine.
Then, in January of 2005, we received a letter stating that her application had been denied due to non appearance at a scheduled interview. We never received notice of interview, nor did we receive forms for medical, which we were told by USCIS office in New York, was the next step in the process. The letter was dated december 30, 2004, but was mailed January 23, 2005 and received January 25, 2005. The interview in question was dated for November 11, 2004.
The irony of it is that we had been at USCIS on December 29, 2004 and she was issued her work autorization card. The denial letter stated that both her SSN and work authorization had been anulled. We immediately went to USCIS
and were advised to request a revision of the case, which I did that very same day. To date I have recieved no notice whatsoever about this.
To make matters worse, on May 5, 2005 my wife received notice of her mother's demise in her native country, Venezuela, and was so griefstricken that she returned to her country without I-131 authorization against my recommendation. Now she can't return to the US, and when I go to USCIS (which I've done several times) I'm told that she has to be present in order for any information to be given out. I've told them that she is not in the country and the most they can tell me is that she should apply for a special permission for r-entry at the US Consulate in Venezuela.
She has been to the US Consulate in her country twice and they tell her that they can't help her there; that all proceedings have to be originated stateside. But they won't even deal with me here. I wrote to the US consulate in Venezuela and they responded the same to me.
What, if anything can be done? She has been away for several months and we fear that this will turn into a permanent situation and will place undue stress on our marriage.
