Jhony Amagua, 28, of Ecuador arrived in late January and told The Post he was issued an appointment date for 2031. Rodriguez is staying at the New York Manhattan Hotel near the Empire State Building and said he even considered moving somewhere with a shorter wait before deciding “we’ve come all this way, we might as well wait it out.” “Before coming, I knew it was going to be complicated, but not this complicated,” said Rodriguez, whose home country is roiled by political oppression and an economic tailspin under the authoritarian socialist leader Nicolas Maduro. Victor Rodriguez, 23, who arrived in the US from Venezuela in late 2022, told The Post he has an appointment in 2025.
