INS update

I called the INS I-800A department yesterday and was plunged into the I-800A black hole. No updates have been made to our file although we have been assigned an agent. I called our social worker who said that 100% of the I-800A's were being sent back for revisions and that to her knowledge, not one I-800A in the nation had made it through yet. As a result, there is a huge backlog of I-800A's to be processed by the government. To think we are caught in the middle of American red tape when we're going to a communist country is indeed ironic.
