This will be my first foray into the world of blogging! I have heard since I opened my practice that I should be blogging, but I never quite got into it. So here goes.
Today I had a client attend her visa interview in Ciudad Juarez, only to be turned away because she had not yet had her fingerprints taken, even though there were no available fingerprint appointments prior to her interview. I realize that electronic processing is the way of the future, but it aggravates me when there is no room for human intervention. This is such an unnecessary burden on my client, who is otherwise completely eligible for her visa. Her husband is living in the United States waiting for her, and she has no inadmissibility issues. She should have been approved on the spot. Sigh.
I suppose the lesson I learn from this is to find a real person to speak to, whenever possible, and be as diligent as I can to circumvent cumbersome electronic procssing systems. For now, my client will need to wait a few more weeks to be reunited with her husband. In the grand scheme of things, it could be much worse.
