J&N79

I cant speak for everyone or for the government. I think it would be up to you both and your future plans.
Does it affect the immigration process, I don't think so, it is something to do with the Saudi government not the US government. We did not go through the CR-1 visa, so I cant speak for that.
I know the permission is a headache and I can tell you it was a nightmare for us too.
best of luck

good grief.
you are experiencing the spectrum of the process. your wife's ROC went quick. faster than the advertised time of 6 months. (were you singing the praises of the USCIS then?) now your son's is taking longer and its 'inconvenient' for you. but he is not yet out of normal processing times. (feb 3 will be 6 months for him.)
have you even looked through the august 2011 filers thread? only about a third of CSCers have been approved!
you seem to suffer from a lack of patience (and reading comprehension at times). this will only make the wait more difficult for you. youll probably get an approval in the next couple of months. long before the GC extension expires.
