Whew. My visa expired the week they shut down the entity that handles immigrant viasas, and the new entity was completely disorganized. Neither one was able to help anyone for a couple of months. They had demonstrations in Lisbon with stressed out immigrants. They were backlogged by something like 60,000 applicants. I was illegal for about three weeks. But suddenly, three days ago, with no notice, everything opened up and I am once again a legal immigrant.
I can't imagine the stress immigrants in the US go through.
