The Obsessed Programmer

The other day, I sent letters electronically and through the mail to my three representatives in the United States Congress.  To me, it was sort of a Hail Mary move.  I mean, it couldn’t possibly be more desperate than trying to work with the USCIS directly, could it?

I just got off the phone with an aide in Senator Bob Bennett’s office.  He asked how his office could help.  I told him that since we sent the letter, we got hold of the receipt number we needed to resubmit Liliana’s permission-to-work papers without paying an additional fee.  But the SNAFU with the fingerprinting appointment has made it look like we might have to pay over $1,300 in fees again if we can’t reschedule it.

He collected some information about our papers and Liliana, and said he’d see what he could do to make sure we get another appointment without resubmitting all our papers with new fees.

Thank you, Senator Bennett.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
