Security checks
Spoke to IIO for four times in four weeks after much trying. Case is on officer\'s desk and "not lying in a box" as per IIO. Can be finalized anytime soon (light years I guess)
Stupid lawyer filed for CP, and I did not catch that in time; made me stupider after 1 year. Tracked down the I140 document after calling NVC; who said that I better get it back to Nebraska or the case will age out. Rightly said, and Consular sent me a note stating that if I do not act on this notice, then I am screwed and quoted me some clauses about ageing out or whatever.
Informed the screwed-up lawyer, said do not worry - everything is cool. I was hot under my collar and called the consulate. Consulate informed me that Nebrasksa had requested the I140 file back. Only Nebraska can recall the file and not the beneficiary or the screwed-up lawyers.
Called up the IIO; informed me that security checks have increased and have patience. Very friendly IIO\'s for all inquiries; and they were apologetic about the process. Got to thank the screwed-up lawyer for the fiasco.
Strange enough was informed by Immig Officer a port of entry that the case should be resolved soon (that was in March this year)
Am now past the 500 day stage by a few days - same company, many promotions.
Ever seen a lawyer who walks with his hands in his own pockets!!!
Even went to the Senator via Senator liaison in Nebraska in March. Informed then that the cases are delayed by 90 days; so that made it Sept 2000. Informed the lawyer that this cannot be possible as May 2001 cases are being processed. Well, at that time I gave up the Senatorial option to pursue information.
At this stage, AVM is the same "Recd on so and so; and will take 300- 365 days"
Happy Hunting!!!
