Well, as bad it is, in such an authoritarian country where I have so few rights, this country is still more open to hosting to us than so-called land of the free. Well, apparently the USCIS offers face-to-face meetings even though I've spent years trying to simply weave pass the automated denials on the website where I haven't yet reached a stage to get a meeting or talk with a human of any kind who I could ask what the hell is going on.
Well, when/if I have to come back home, one of my priorities will be renting a car and driving to USCIS for a meeting and to let them know the hell they've put my family and I through. I'm almost 40 years old and I'd hate to imagine when I'm 60 that I'll still be dealing with these and feeling transient in what should be peaceful retirement years.
Maybe that would be a blessing in disguise, if you returned to the US and could arrange a face-to-face meeting that could allow your family to follow! In another post, you mentioned a K-visa, which also sounds promising. OMG, I so hope something good works out for you! It's time you got a break!!!
If I am able to get a meeting in the USA, it won't be an immigration meeting because we have not made it to that stage yet. However, I am hoping to get solid answers for why our documentation for the US keeps getting denied, things like our intended address, my wife's Cambodian criminal check, etc.
As of now it looks like the K-Visa for Cambodia is our best shot at longterm family stability. I We're heading to Phnom Penh on Sunday to collect my passport with 3-month extension, and it will be a race against the clock to get married for the second time so that we can then apply for the K-Visa.

It's insane that your legal marriage in South America is not recognized in Cambodia.
😒
Xenophobia is the norm here, need to keep the precious Cambodian DNA as pure as possible.
