[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just so we are all clear, the OP and/or her spouse are likely well-paid employees of a prestigious international organization.  They are applying for a green card for their child so their child can "double dip" and enjoy citizenship privileges and work authorization both in the United States and in a wealthy European country.  And now OP is lamenting that her child's travel permit and green card are taking too long.  I mean...come on OP.   You are choosing to take advantage of a great opportunity to make your privileged child's life even more privileged.  Not to mention, you chose a career that takes you far from family.  USCIS right now is desperately trying to meet the needs of people who need travel permits for ACTUAL emergencies; humanitarian parole for people in urgent humanitarian circumstances, work permit for people who desperately need to work to support their families.  I honestly cannot believe you bothered Raskin's office with this BS.   [/quote]

So what to every word of this.

Her kid has legally been in the US for a long time (long enough to be eligible for a green card) and she wants him to have that option. I wish my kids or I were eligible for another passport other than the US. I'd do the absolute same. Some people in this thread are are bitter, jealous, or just dicks.[/quote]

I wrote this and the point is that nothing in her situation qualifies as an emergency.  People are advising her to contact her Congress person, go to the CIS ombudsman, etc. and my point is nothing about this is an emergency.  [/quote]

OP never said it was an emergency. She is literally trying to get a form that says her minor child can leave the US to go visit relatives and then return to the US without forfeiting thousands of dollars in fees for a previous USCIS filing. OP may be privileged, but she's still dealing with our completely broken USCIS system. I think contacting one's Congress person and everything else is the exact remedy here.[/quote]
