Yeah, they tried not sending me to the fraud desk many times and finally I formatted my question in such a way that they had to give me the e-mail. But someone back there in the thread said it's not gonna work, and it's not. She'll have the room packed, plus I'd wanted to put a single piece of paper in front of the judge, one he could ignore for all other purposes than that requested, to determine entitlement to some or all of the max calculated chunk of retirement. I didn't want to introduce the raw evidence because I don't want to chance deportation. The US Attorney doesn't want to process old stuff, so I'd have been safe just getting an opinion from the Embassy. Things wouldn't have gone further. I was worried that if sufficiently incensed, this judge could find a way to refer the matter in a non-ignorable way. But the money for the kids' college having been depleted, I have to fight. Things are too tight. There being a consensus the fancy way won't work, I'll do this the simple way. I've known all along it would work, but it's using a nuke where a flyswatter is called for.
