Legal Question in Immigration Law in India

Family Immigration

A peculiar situation arises for those who have been sponsored for f2b visa (family visa for unmarried child). The moment the child is sponsored, he would need to wait for his turn. The turn may take years to come. The result is that all his future plans go haywire and gets seriously affected. He cannot marry, as his marriage would oust him out of the f2b category and put him into a slower category. He cannot build his roots in business or any other field.

In most cases his family is already in USA, and he is left wandering all by himself. The affected people are mostly from such countries where family attachment and bonding plays a vital role in their developments.

The peculiar situation arises when such person marries. He is ousted from his status of f2b and he stands in another long que after foresaking his long wait in f2b category. My question is should there be not a move on the part of NVC/INS or the US Government to waive off the time to be taken in the next long que?

Should not such cases be covered for Human Rights?

As the entire life of such a person is jeopardized, why should there be such a rigidity for having to wait for long years.
