Thank you for your response. I suppose if we’re going to split hairs over who is “first” in line then I’ll say here that I am USC petitioning for a spouse, which I believe is priority. If this is not what you meant about how “they don’t” do that then perhaps you could shed some light on how they do decide who comes first? 
 
Thanks again. I’m glad you and your wife got your approval after such a long wait.

Have you consulted an immigration attorney? That is what I would do if I got an inquiry response like that.  I might just skip the inquiry and the courtesy call to the useless hotline to do exactly that when my case falls outside of the normal processing time in May.

That is a reasonable assessment which makes me feel better. I appreciate you taking the time to accept the challenge of my angry post. Thank you.
