Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / August 2005

I already posted this at visajourney.com, but am hoping to get some
answers here as well...........My wife and I are waiting in the UK for
the NVC to complete our case after an RFE (we were unable to DCF due to
her only having the LLR stamp) All the information for the RFE was sent
and in the NVC system by August 2nd, yet still no case completion. The
IVR says to wait 6 - 8 weeks, but since cases are usually completed in
about 2-3 weeks I had been hoping to hear something. So I called NVC and
spoke to an operator, who tells me they have not yet reviewed my RFE
info, the way she was talking they have not even started looking at them
yet, so in 4 weeks all they have managed to do is enter 4 things into a
computer and nothing else. I wanted to reach down the phone, grab the
woman and smash her head repeatedly into the PC screen and ask her what
the **** is taking them so long with reviewing some 2002 documents, a
picture, and a letter. This is just completely taking the **** now and
driving me mad.

So since NVC are apparantly doing sweet FA with my application, does
anyone know how much of a problem it would cause if I flew to the US
now? and then came back to the UK for my medical and interview? I
imagine it would be pretty risky, since I would have 0 ties back to the
UK and would only be entering the US on the VWP. What legal
implications are there? I know I could not work etc, but would be
"visiting" ............. I dunno really, to me I think it's very risky
and probably not worth it. However my wife is going crazy here in the
UK (we are living with my parents at the moment, and as most people
know living with someone else is never easy), she has not seen her
family since last year, and her family have not yet met our baby (we
had hoped to be flying in September) and at the moment there is no end
in sight from the NVC.

There is nothing we can even do for another 4 weeks, and even after that
it's another 8 weeks (minimum wait) for an interview which means we are
looking at December/January. Even if NVC do nothing for the next 4 weeks
and we call and complain that it has been 8 weeks since they received
the RFE info, there will probably still be another 6-8 weeks while they
figure out how to get their head out of their a.s before even looking at
what they did with the case.

Does anyone have any suggestions at all? As far as I know there is no
one we can even call and speak to that may be able to get the case
looked at. I think heading to the US and then coming back for the
interview and medical is risky, I would have no ties to a job in the
UK, and as we are living with my parents no rental agreement etc. We
want to get a move on with our life as in the UK we feel that we can't
actually do much for the future, and in the US already have a house/car
waiting for us.

If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated
(although I fear that the only thing really to do is wait on NVC (and
then London embassy)), thanks.
