In parallel to anything happening to me now, the main theme is still the work permit business....
Some news. Yesterday we found that there is another authority who can help. Which is Ombudsman. This morning I wrote and email to this office attaching again the mail from my perspective employer. Surprisingly they answered quite fast that my request will be answered within.... 45 days. Then I answered again explaining that 45 days is not really my expectation and especially emphasizing the financial loss and the risk of loosing my current job offer as it was recommended by some guys on immigration forums, who happened once to be as unlucky as I was. And, wow, they answered again quickly that they will answer within 48 hours! I wrote again that actually even 48 hours are critical for me now underlining that the case was not supposed to be urgent, but the USCIS guy's actions made it to be one and... wow.... they answered in 5 minutes that they have "determined to expedite" my case and will forward the request to an analyst who is going to contact USCIS directly and inform me about the result asap.. The whole next half of the day nothing new happened (that was around 3 pm). Just now in the evening I wrote one more pleading email.... Unfortunately they don't answer the phone. Nevertheless I also left a couple of voice mails (that was before I wrote and email).
Now I hope that something will happen. I'm getting used to live in the "hoping" status. I'm afraid that when I will finally win this battle, I will already be completely exhausted and won't even have strengthes to celebrate.
I hope this is not going to be my next step:
