Immigration limbo for many

September 15, 2006 (1 min read)

"While U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services gets ready to throw parties and pay bonuses to employees for reducing a backlog of applications, Mao Xiaowei and her husband Mark Hale are still waiting for her green card. The couple were told they'd have a 90-day waiting period for her FBI name check to be returned to the immigration office. That was on Nov. 25, 2003. Ten months after that, the Hales were told by an FBI official that the name check was never received." Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Sept. 13, 2006.
