Did you guys also include case specific info like receipt numbers? It's alright, as long as we're trying right.

"uscis-complaint@dhs.gov" is inactive account (out of office) - they don't want to take complaints but that's why we have 3 other e-mail addresses

I got the same reply from publicaffairs account. There are still 2 other e-mail addresses which I haven't gotten a reply from and someone else will check it.

Please do not let this automated replies stop you from sending mails. Let our voices must be heared

You would be giving personal information then. Its not required but if its ok with you, it can't hurt.

Might want to throw something in there about how the posted processing times actually went BACKWARDS from July to August. If they've figured out how to go back in time, I'd like to invest in that.

I read on external forum that a group of people waiting for employment based green card applicants complained to Ombudsman about slow response rate from NSC in early 2007. Many people complained together by sending e-mails. About 3 weeks following the flurries of comments, NSC started approving cases. Many people saw approvals even in weekends.

I think it is time for us to come together and e-mail CIS Ombudsman. We can all have a e-mail format without any case details and then send it one by one demanding immediate attention to IR1/CR1 and K-3 applicants who have been unreasonably waiting. This should get VSC working fast. CSC applicants who have filed in July are getting approved now but VSC filers are in serious dilemma.

I can post that link if allowed to post external links here.

What do you all think???

now that we might be getting this ball rolling, do u think we can somehow get some media attention to this as well?

This is another good idea. The TV is nowadays one of the "powers" we have in society.

Just sent the email also... represented us as a whole, made it more personal but still added everything from the template and used the same subject also. Also added the thing about HOW IN THE HELL DO TIMELINES GO BACKWARDS... also added that the only couple of K3's and CR1 that have gotten approved are probably Expedites.

How about we flood CNN's mailbox with our story as well? This will give us the media attention. Media is a strong catalyst.

What do you guys and gals think?

what is their contact information?

[mrc1330 0]

I read the stupid annual report... nothing important... anything thats written in the report about K3's or I130 is already old news. Completely useless and "canned response" for Ombudsman's office to refer to the report.

Hey guys...they have 180 days to NOA2...that starts when the last NOA1 is dated, not before that. Yes, all of you are getting the same canned response via email that all of us got. If you reach the 180 days like so many of us did (I do believe gogo is at over 500 now!), THEN you can do something about it. They won't pay attention to you, actually, no one will until you hit that magical mark! Search 'gogo's' handle and read what him & his beloved have gone thru and STILL nothing done!

You need to hang tight...the squeaky wheel doesn't always get the grease. The Ombudsman won't do anything, if you need to contact anyone, focus on Vermont Senators, Congressmen, the media THERE. When we were going thru our hell, I contacted every single talk show/news show and no one replied, maybe the odd canned response.

Good luck!!

hey Jen.. how are you doing? I see you are almost all done with your journey now.. congrats on not giving up.. yeah, we are a bit over 500 days now.. and the lawsuit's time is almost up (in my signature) and at about 14 days left (out of 60). they have 60 days to respond back (with another 30 days extension), but over 95% (I checked too, made an account with PACERS - the whole court system.. they have all the cases from everyone who filed) succeed and end in "voluntary dismissal" by the plantiff (mainly because USCIS doesn't want to admit they were wrong in the 1st place).. Also, they use an excuse like : "We already finished your case and you have no reason to continue, so the lawsuit is moot".. something to that effect.. so they make up plenty of excuses not to look bad..
