As soon as I get my studio space I'm going to write a song about how fantastic USCIS is and I'll post it here.

What we need to do is get Spielberg to make "Visa Journey, the Movie" and then force all USCIS and Embassy workers to watch the 3-hour epic of a bunch of pissed off people sitting in front of their computer waiting to be touched or receive NOA2 with the credits finally rolling before any d@mn closure or climax is achieved! :devil:

Or, here's an idea, how about making it law that when a USCIS case worker is assigned a case, they must be immediately removed for cohabitation and contact with their spouse or significant other until the case is closed! Wonder if that would speed 'em up. :yes:

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they only get to see their spouse if they approve all petitions arriving in CSC each day. One failure to approve, none of them can see their spouse or loved ones.

Okay, have we totally gone off the deep end yet?

Lets not forget we pay these peoples salaries. We could also propose they work off a commision based plan, where they only get paid a percentage for every petition they process.

Bet it would take 4 days or less from mailing in the petition to approval :lol:

Yeah, Dave...I know you want closure on this, if only to save you from those TREMENDOUS phone bills Nate told me you had a while back. Damnit, man.

Dave, the only evidence you'll need to give Lirio for her interview is a copy of that phone bill. I'm sure they'll see that anyone racking up that big of a phone bill HAS to love the person they are petitioning. :lol:

Yup, I'm ready...and I can feel it comin'...I'm banking on tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath. As far as phone bills, they are only slightly unreasonable now. Anyone out there bust a $1,300 phone bill in one month or am I the champ?

Wow, I spend about $400+ per month on calling cards - 13cents per minute to a cellular.

I wish internet chatting were an option, but no...it isn't.

You are definitely spending alot.
