True story:
Situation: I am a U.S. citizen that married a Hungarian citizen in 2005. Once we were married, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) made my wife stay out of the country until her 2-year green card was issued. This took 18 months.
At the end of 2 years, we applied for the 10-year green card. This is how it is always done. They are considering turning down the 10-year card because my wife did not live in the United States during the entire 2 years prior. Now, there is no requirement for her to do so. The immigration official that I spoke with said there was. When I pressed him for the exact place to find this language, he confessed that it was not really in there but that the "intent" was that we live together. I told him the "intent" was to make sure our marriage was legitimate and living together was one way to establish that; but not the only way. He also admitted that he was certain my marriage was legit.
Me: So you are saying you will not approve my wife moving to the United States because she does not currently live in the United States?
Him: That is correct. However, your wife is free to visit you using a tourist visa.
This is a true story. It is my story. I find out in 2 weeks if the green card is approved. If it is not, I am going to fill the internet with this miscarriage of justice. I will also be making a certain immigration official very famous. I will post his photo, home address and phone number for anyone that would like to talk to him.
But for now, I wait.

Interestingly, the other equally poorly run organization, TSA, is also run by the department of Homeland Security; an organization that was thrown together by the most incompetent administration in the history of the United States.
