Is there a K1 organization ??

[Larry / Angelina 0]

I talked to a good friend of mine today and he is the regional director for my Federal Congressman, we talked about the K1 visa and why it takes so long for a US citizen to get there loved ones here to marry. I was told that if just a single person now and then contacts a congressman about the long wait time , then nothing is going to happen to change the situation. He then said that if there is a large organized group that can contact the different congressman that deal with immigration issues , then something might get done to speed the process up. So back to my question ,,, Does anyone know of a National Organization for Marriage based visas?

No one does much as by the time it takes to get started trying to change things your K1 visa will be approved [or denied] and you will move on.

I know this is a forum for Marriage based visas , But I am talking about a organization that lobbies congressmen , or sends petitons to the Govt, for reform of the system .. I may be wrong , but I dont believe Visajourney does any of that stuff. Maybe they could get a petiton going to send to the lawmakers , letting them know how we all feel waiting, and to see if there is anyway of speeding up the process ..

Silly people.

I think what your friend was recommending is a wonderful idea but the problem is that not enough people really care about immigration issues. I consider myself a relatively intelligent person who has never missed a vote but I will also say that I never took the time to care much about what those running for office had to say about immigration until I was forced to deal with it myself. We just don't have a loud enough voice.

When I first started coming to VJ, and long before I was able to file for my love, I contacted all representatives in my area and voiced my concerns regarding the process...not just the timelines, but the disparity between the centers (at the time) and the transparency of the process...etc. I feel it's my obligation as an American citizen to do so. I wasn't expecting anything done with our case, I simply wanted to be sure that immigration issues had a name/face to it when it came time for them to vote. I have a friend in office and I know sharing my exerience with her effect her decisions when it comes to all immigration issues.

I encourage everyone here to do the same. It may not move mountains but at least it's one more voice....and better than sittin around just b|tchin about it.

So then you've figured it out. Good.
