USCIS site
am i being a thickie (entirely likely ) or are the majority of the pages on the uscis website not clickable? Ie they look like they should be links to other more detailed pages - but dont infact click through?
for instance - the line ''For more information on visa numbers, please see the How Do I Get an Immigrant Visa Number?.'' I would expect the How Do I Get an Immigrant Visa Number? bit to be a link to that specific page/document.
I am trying to research stuff for myself and find great references on their site - but they dont just link through to anything so i cant get the actual answers.
or is it just me (doh)!

And no...they never hyperlinked the phrases that indicate that they're links. Just never did it, in 18 months.
Use the search box in the top right corner to plug your phrase in and you will generally get good results.
fatbrit's suggestion also works.
Many of the key, favorite links have been captured at familybasedimmigration.com but I will warn you.. uscis.gov is using some dynamic link thingie, and the links sometimes just change. Links you've saved for a particular document will suddenly lead you elsewhere, so it is worth learning how to get around their site the best you can.
There is a rumor that a tinyurl will preserve through the dynamic linking, but I haven't tested that myself.

I used to think that only a communist country would have much red tape
until a few years back. Does anybody know how much the cost of
applying for green card has been increasing in the past 17 years?

Re: USCIS site
What fatbrit said. You can't get from 'A' to 'B' on their site without going through google first.
