I agree.. if you are honest and do things the right way, you have a lot of hassle to go through. It is frustrating beyond belief. It took us 9 month to get through with USCIS... and they lied to me from the beginning. I told them I was living overseas with my husband, but they told me I had to give a US address on the i-130. I told them I can give them an address in the US, but I don't live there right now as I am living in Australia-I also gave them plently of evidence of me living in Australia. They said they don't send anything overseas. Lies.. lies. I also had to fly back to America last Sept for an interview with Homeland Security. When I called USCIS to ask why I was scheduled for an interview (it is NOT part of the normal process), no one could tell me why. All they said is that if you don't go, they will most likely deny the petition. So 9 months from the beginning and thousands of extra dollars later, I got approved for the petition. But it was only after I was in America that I found out US citizens living overseas with their spouse can get their petition auto expedited!! USCIS denied the whole thing when I called them up about it. Now we are nearly done with NVC.. that's another drama. So I understand your frustration with this process... we have been going through it for well over a year. But like you said, let's have millions of illegal people get into America.. no worries for them!
