On March 27th, almost 3,000 USCIS employees were given their pink slip. This means that our cases will be delayed on for up to a year more. My wife was histerical thinking that she won't be able to visit her mom for another year.

I think this economy is going nowhere but down still. Everybody that I know is worried about their job, or already laid off. AND THIS INCLUDES GOVERMENT JOBS TOO.

Filings for the Fiance Visas Are also off by over 7,000 fewer as compared to this time last year.

People ain't got money to travel and pay for all the bucks to get their honey here, or anywhere.

Jeeeze.... bad economy s*cks!
