Hear me out, this is a serious question. As my wife and I go into our third year of this process with no end in sight, it seems there must be a point when enough is enough. We finally got through NVC stage after 19 months from filing, only to be stonewalled by a covid-closed consulate for almost a year so far with no opening in sight.
The solution is simple, let my wife immigrate on a conditional basis until the offices can open and the government can start processing again. We would be more than happy to go anywhere at any time later for the proper interview. CR-1s have to do this anyway and it's not a problem. Give every I-130 spouse who's cleared NVC CR-1 status until they can process us properly.
So who do I need to talk to? My Representative? My Senators? Surely we're not alone in this situation nor in the belief that it's completely ridiculous. We're trying to do the right thing here, going about it the legal way, but we're in our prime years and have to spend them apart because of a situation that could very easily be remedied with no loss to anybody. We've been patient but nobody should have to put up with this. Who's with me? How do we participate in democracy and make the government work for us?
