As a person admittedly completely naive to the ways of Washington, I would assume that the real issue is a flaw in the filing or a mischaracterization of the original paperwork concerning the marriage. Whoever’s fault that is, it’s not Mark Kelly’s, and my other assumption is that even a senator can’t say “my constituent’s friend wrote to me and therefore I am now not only ready but actually able to command that standard immigration procedures be rendered null and void.”

If the paperwork were considered legit, as it absolutely should have been, the process should rightly be straightforward, and I am furious that some bureaucrat’s error is leading to this heartbreaking result. But even a senator can’t break the rules. Mistakes were quite clearly made but they were made quite a few steps ago, not by the OP but by some nameless and faceless person who is the real cause of all this pain.

Like you, I really hope that the source of this nightmare—the flaw in the handling of the paperwork—can be rectified and that this story is not over.
