Dear Editor:
In response to Andrea's letter, the National Customer Service Center is wrong when they say her case is not exceptional. Instead of emotional please to someone who can do nothing about her suffering, she needs to give them facts. The facts are that the Texas Service Center is currently processing US citizens’ I-130 petitions for their spouse filed in September 2002. See www.uscis.gov – processing times. Her petition is almost a year overdue for adjudication. The customer service center can send a message to the TSC letting them know that this petition is overdue for adjudication. They can also make sure that USCIS has her address correct in the system. To avoid this kind of problem is why many people hire attorneys. A good immigration attorney will know his/her way around the system, and be able to get reasonable results. A reasonable result for this lady would be for her husband’s petition to be approved and sent to the consulate right away to set up his interview. If he was in the US illegally for over a year, he may need a waiver. That is another thing an attorney would be able to help her with from the beginning. I realize she doesn’t have money, but sometimes it is better to pay upfront to have things done right and avoid a lot of suffering.
