I'll have to join in the defense for Rebecca.. this really has NOTHING to do with her journey... and take a look at your journey , David.. you GOT APPROVED ALREADY... so please quit complaining... you want to see a long journey, take a look at mine.. 245+ days without ANYTHING.. so really, you don't know much about waiting yourself.. you got approved within the 6 month timeframe.. some people have a shorter timeframe than you.. while others have longer... we are all in this journey together trying to bring our loved ones here.. some are just more lucky than others , as you can see.. the topic of this thread is to find someway to change that, and not try to attack others just because they are faster than you.. Yes, I even had a fight with rebecca too (but we put that behind us).. I cannot blame her for a slow USCIS system.. so you shouldn't either..

...just to add MHO...The fact of the matter is the system is broken. There are no consistant levels of service across the board ( not just in K-3 processing).

All this in-bickering over how long so-and-so waited, versus how long so-and-so waited and "who has the authority to speak"on the subject based on their wait time...is silly. We should be not dogging those lucky enough to have swift processing...but using the faster times vs the slower times as prime examples of just how unequal the system is! ....We should be pressuring for consistency of service across the board. The system is unfair and THAT is what we should be arguing about with the agencies/groups that can help. Not wasting time dogging one another over individual timelines-but pressuring the Govt for CONSISTANT performance based on the service you are requesting and it shouldn't matter where you live or which Office you fall under. The wait times should be roughly the same.

It's a ####### shoot, mostly. Some localities have crappier offices than others.

For example-AOS depends where you live for your local office (we were lucky-we got DORA-but not EVERYONE does get that fast processing...and they should, IMO) .

We need better communication from, and more equitable service ( or at least an accurate idea of expected wait times) right across the board, from the agencies performing the various services for us all.

PS OP-Please don't take this post of mine to be saying anything against the petition! I supported it ....Just my thoughts on the time-line " misunderstandings, disagreements"...or whatever).

No offense taken - just trying mate to make a dent in a system that is not broken, its completely destroyed. Revamp restructure get a new one, something like that for people down the road. It will not happen for us I realize that, but maybe somewhere it can make a change for future visa journey people. I would not wish this on anyone to feel such loneliness and such despair as to why our GOVERNMENT can not give us a solid answer instead of giving lip service to quench our thrist for a few days. We all need to join up and find a source to make a dent whether it is by supporting this cause by writing, by cheering on another one that is or just posting and letting us know we are not alone with our misfortune of the whole timing of this mess.

Sorry thats all I am trying to do here and again, Seasons Greetings to all and winks to GOGO

Cheers

yay, Merry Christmas SusieK :star: :star:

That worker related visas are processed faster and tend to carry greater benefits than USC family based visas is certainly a travesty, but I'm not putting my name on this petition. It addresses the families of permanent residents, not children and is shabbily written. (Never proof read your own work on something like this.)

The idea may be a good one but is poorly explained in the petition. Unless those who receive the petition are already fairly expert in the details of obtaining family based visas, the wording will be of little meaning to them.

I'm all for an organized group lobbying for realistic improvements but the goal of equal processing time across countries and local offices is a pipe dream. The timeline variations are primarily the result of a mismatch in staff to workload. Lots of luck getting a system in place to shift workers to other offices to balance workload to staff domestically, much less Internationally, where language skills are needed.

NO. Defend what you want, this is what i got....

I got denied a tourist visa, for no reason... Nit had a house and mortgage and job, we got denied for no reason because we are married. We went together for that.

We paid our price, did our time, now we wait further for labor disputes in California?

Now my wifey is sick, really sick, from the rainy season and a virus nobody here ever heard of? Am I angry? yes. I'm angry to the point nobody would understand. Because, after all we did or lived through, it became about time. Im going to do what I can for my wifey, but in this always she was innocent, and so was I, and now what I have left is I never want anyone, anywhere, to deal with or live through what I had to.

Bring it.

I'm sorry your wife is ill. That would be more than I could bear.

I was speaking to gogo about a misunderstanding. I'm not sure what you are trying to say to me, or if you are speaking to me all.

Hi SusieK.. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas... nothing happen as of yet.. I made an appointment to see them on December 26 at the LOCAL OFFICE in Los Angeles (basically it's right next door)... I still can't believe they transferred my case there.. I submitted about 20 pictures, 3 affidavits from family members/friends, and also wedding invitation.. that should be enough for their evidence considering we are still newlyweds .. I just don't know.. I'll be going next week and hopefully getting some answers.. NOW I KNOW people are coming to US who already applied in April.. they really have no excuse now.. I want to see their "Processing Times" update for December.. I'll print that out and show them.. :angry: way past my time..

how about you? Did you get your NOA1 yet?
