In Nov 2001 we were called for interview. We were told that her fingerprints could not be read by the computer. We sent to INS on 12/11/2001 police jurisdiction reports as requested. In Mar 2002 a status request said "still pending" in May a status request went unanswered. A request for Advance Parole went unanswered until Aug 21, 2002. My wife had to leave to see about her property & get her internal passport renewed. We made the decision for her to go ahead & I would meet her in Russia with the papers & we would come back together.
After visiting two INS offices it seems that my wifes' file has been misplaced or lost since 12/2001.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MY WIFE & I CAN BE TOGETHER IN THE US AGAIN. DO WE MOVE TO CANADA or UK?

Agreed. Details like that are why I wrote that my post was a summary
but essentially correct; that is also why I referred the OP to the INS
site and consulting with an immigration lawyer. I didn't mean to give
a detailed description of the entire process, just a description of
the gist of the options. Sorry if this caused any confusion.
