Today we went to Garden City for about the sixth time to inquire about her case since our interview back in October.
If you recall, I lost my job before our interview, was told by our interviewing officer to get a cosponsor by a certain date, which we did, but then received a disapproval notice, written on the day that we provided a cosponsor, stating that my wife was ineligible for permanent resident because I lost my job. It was obvious they did not wait for or consider our cosponsor. After paying many visits and writing several statements explaining this they claimed that they submitted a "service motion" to reopen.
We went back there today with very little expectations, just trying to see if we could get a straight answer out of them to see if anything was going to become of her case very soon, or if we should just go ahead and refile, which I was reluctant to do because I believe THEY made a mistake, but pretty much convinced that we would have to just go ahead and refile - because we have heard horror stories and lost our faith in them and the whole system. We didn't want to wait a year to find out the answer was still "no".
To our surprise (and I'm not even sure that I believe it yet) we were told that the computer system says that she was approved and would just have to wait on the green card in the mail. He congratulated her and everything (while she was crying).
This isn't just some cruel hoax, is it? He wouldn't say that if it weren't true, would he?
