    A mi me paso lo mismo con la familia de mi mujer tu sabes cual es el truco????

    Que el USC mande una carta a tu mama explicando que el quiere que ellas vengan de vaciones y que adicionalmente el se hara cargo por todas los gastos que puede ocasionar el viaje y su estadia. Al final de la carta coloca su social security number y anexale una copia del pasaporte americano.

    Tu veras que con eso no te preguntan mas nada, la familia de mi mujer hizo eso y le aprobaron la visa a sus dos hermanas y a sus padres...

    Saludos.

    Luis.

  3. Cami lee esto creo que es importante para ti, la encontre en el forum y casualmente son de baltimore...

    Here's a long story...you might want to get yourselves a coffee!

    You won't believe what just happened. My interview was at 9:15 this morning. Everything started out well. I had a fantastic binder and folders with every possible piece of info they'd need, plus photo albums. We did not oversleep, and we dressed nicely. We got out of the house VERY early. Baltimore is about a 45 minute drive from home, so we decided to leave a full hour and 45 minutes early, over twice as much time as we would normally need to be sure and account for any traffic. We figured we'd get to Baltimore early get some coffee, etc.

    Well, everything went swimmingly until we got less than 10 miles away from our destination, merging onto 95 N. Traffic ground to a complete halt. We felt fine, because we had over 45 minutes and we were less than a 10 minute drive away.

    Well, we stayed still (or moved literally by inches) for the next TWO HOURS. I can't describe what a helpless and hopeless feeling it is to watch the clock tick past your interview time and there is not a THING you can do about it. My husband says he has never seen a traffic jam like that in all his years of driving around DC. There was absolutely nothing about an accident on the radio (and indeed there were no police around, and no construction either), I guess this is normal for Baltimore?!?!?! Thank GOD I don't work there. We literally could have walked faster. People were driving up the shoulders and jamming themselves in, which slowed it down even more. At one point 8 lanes were merging into one. I have never seen a traffic horror like that in my life.

    Of course, by the time we parked the car in Baltimore, we arrived a full hour late for the most important interview of our lives. We ran into the room and asked the receptionist if there was any way they would still see us. She said she didn't see why not, and took the interview letter. PHEW!!

    Another hour goes by. Then they call my name. The lady who is the officer assigned to interview us was clearly NOT amused and spoke to us in a very impatient voice, almost like scolding children. I tried to explain to her what happened, but she didn't want to hear about it. I was late, and she was pretty sure she would not be able to see us at all that day. I asked if there was any way we could wait just in case there was a slot open, or even re-schedule, but all she said was "that's up to you." and shut the door on us. I thought I would DIE on the spot. Would this mean there would be a black mark on our file, or worse yet that they would deny my application for being a no-show?? I can see being mad at people who are careless and late, but it was so obvious that this was not our fault.

    We rushed out the door to call our immigration lawyer. He said that we should try to submit a note with my A# to say that we would be willing to wait all day if need be, and if that didn't work, he would re-schedule it for us. We decided to try this, and asked the receptionist if she would take our note. She said to "put it in the box outside the waiting room." We looked, and there was no box. The guard at the main desk (outside of the waiting room, not the receptionist) told us there was no box, the receptionist was wrong. Back in we went. Yes there IS a box, it's grey, shaped like a mail box. Out we go again. The guard says that the box has been closed for ages and it's just for appeals anyway. He suggests we go into the information room and speak to a manager.

    In to the information room we go. We start to explain the problem to the receptionist in there, who begins to tell us that she only books infopass appointments. With great urgency we ask if there is any way we could leave our note to say we would like to wait. She then listens to our story and seems amazed that they are sending us away. She takes a copy of our appointment letter and disappears......

    And comes back with noneother than the lady who kicked us out!!! We were told to step aside to talk to her. I thought for sure we were in deep trouble and that we were about to get a strip torn off us. On the contrary, like Dr. Jekyl and Mrs. Hyde, she was as pleasant and understanding as anyone could be. She told us that she had spoken with her supervisor, and that because our file was in such good shape, they would make this ONE exception for us and re-schedule for us, so we don't have to do it ourselves. We are to receive a letter from them with the new date. She said she was sorry, but there was no way she could see us today. We all shook hands, thanked her and left.

    I am absolutely CRUSHED about this because who would ever anticipate that a 10 minute drive would take two hours??? I guess we are lucky that we will be getting a makeup interview. I think the new letter will probably arrive sometime in mid/late July, and I guess the interview will be in August/September sometime, but I haven't the foggiest idea. Talk about a nightmare!!!

    Well....that's all to report for now. If anyone has an early morning interview in Baltimore, I STRONGLY suggest staying in a hotel overnight. That is definitely what we will be doing if we get another morning appointment.
