I don't know how your state works, but I had this same thing happen. We were finally being invited to Kaz and my new approval wasn't here. I called the main INS number on line and asked someone for help. She told me to go online and request a face to face interview(that would have meant driving 5 hours one way, but I was desperate). Anyway, she said take all your information and a letter from my agency saying we were getting ready to travel and they could possibly expidite it.
I scheduled an appointment, called and left messages on any machine I could get at the Jacksonville office and e-mailed the local contact person at that office, explaining my situation and begging for help. It actually worked. So press on. Beg, plead, barter!
When I was getting No where initially I felt the same way you did, that after everything it was my country that was holding me up. Wishing you the best of luck!!
