Got an email today from the brilliant minds over at the National Visa Center. Apparently when we turned in our applications, we didn't submit the last page, the page that says to only fill it in if someone other than you yourself filled in the application. Since I filled in the applications, silly me, I didn't fill in that final page, nor did I submit it with the package, since the entire page was blank.
I was told today, after yet another half hour wait on the phone, that I was supposed to submit the blank final page, with nothing on it, and that because I did not, I would need to resubmit everything again. So, download new forms, fill them in again, rescan them, rescan all the supporting documents, and resubmit them, this time with the blank 9th page, that will have no new information on it, nothing on it, it will be blank.
And now, I really understand why our immigration system is so fatally flawed down here. When a US citizen can't get his wife and kids into the country to live with him after a year, because of a blank page, and yet people from everywhere else can just walk illegally over the boarder...
This could mean months more of separation.
Maybe its time to just bring them in illegally, like everyone else, I mean why the hell not? It seems like it would be a lot cheaper, a lot quicker, and we'd have a better outcome at the end without all the hassle of trying to do things the right way.
Thank you America. You have failed me.
Forward this blog on to your senator, your representative, your congressman, but I bet it won't do any good.
Apparently I need to be an illegal immigrant who just says "to hell with your system and procedures" before I get anything at all to happen down here.
