You need the help of a good attorney to make the follow up which is required Ina case such as this. Communication between anyone and any US Consulate throughout the world is virtually impossible. Like CIS, the Consular Offices (USCON) generally are unreachable or the speed of communication is slow. Truth is that even a good attorney with the intent to provide the follow up that you are looking to obtain will encounter issues trying to effectively communicate with the USCON. Depending on the issues, my office has suggested the filing of lawsuits in federal court to speed the process along. While USCON's are given a wide array of deference to make the decisions that must be made when deciding to whom and under what conditions permission to come Roth US will be granted, the process cannot goon forever. This does not mean that every case we file has the outcome we want. But if you are waiting and waiting and the USCON is unresponsive, the filing of complaints in a federal court may just provide the Department of State with some additional impetus to make a decision. Certainly, attempting to communicate the old fashioned way (i.e. telephone, fax, email) is the preferred way to operate, don't leave the determination on the merits of your case to someone who is unwilling to take any and all reasonable and legally permissible steps to resolve the delays that you may be experiencing.
