I don't know what you're talking about.

hi fermat, remember...you cannot get approved before me. If you do, you know the consequences hahaha

Wow everyone I know it is tough. It took 25 months from filing to receipt of visa for us. Try to distract yourselves with hobbies or activities. Stay in touch with your loved one but try to be positive and not always moan about how long the process it taking. Make plans but keep them generic as no one knows what the future may hold.

We all know the immigration process is broken, we all are/were in the same boat. I think the ideas of how to fix the process is much better than moaning about how broken it is. Maybe we can't fix it for ourselves but think of all the people to come after us.

Please try to stay positive everyone.

Why did it take you so long? Looks like your I-129F was approved quite fast.

I AGREE 100%. We WILL eventually get through this, but we should NEVER forget the problems we have faced, or are facing now, and should continue helping others navigate through the troubled waters of immigration. From what I have seen though, when individual families are finished with the process, and are finally reunited, they tend to "move on" with their lives. All 50 States, and most Countries are represented here by individuals from different religious beliefs, cultures, values, and social-economic backgrounds, with ONE common goal - to be together as a family!! I, for one, will never forget, and will do whatever I can to keep the broken immigration system in the spotlight. U.S. Citizens who are being forced to take a back seat to illegals and scammers should make OUR voices heard throughout the United States, and demand we be given respect and priority.

Good morning, everyone. Just came from work and now checking in..read some of the posts ( soo hard to keep up. LOL), and now got me confused again. Second day in a row..from threats to successive banning.

Hey, aren't we supposed to be allies here?

Anyways, good morning again, and let's stay supportive of each other.

And to all the couples who posted their pictures- You guys are all beautiful!! I swear!!

Hello Val and Gary, Jenny and the others who are still here with us. Thanks for the support, guys!

Hi people,

I went to the hairdresser to forget a bit this stupid frustration, and guess what? It worked, got a brand new cut, I look 10 years younger ( which my hubby will apreciate) And I didn't log into VJ for the last 4h. Guys sorry this kind of stuff only works with us women

Don't forget, We are going to make it through TSC NVC consulate, and main target, be in the arms of our loved ones!!!

HI there everyone,

So I contacted my Congresswoman Jane Harman's office and got a call this Wednesday. They said that they will do the best they can to mediate for me. I haven't heard anything yet, and my service request is past due and unanswered. This is just an update for me and let you guys know what happens.

Hi Sabian,

Keep the faith, the worst is behind us. Things started moving everyday we are getting closer and closer to the final approval

I am one of the early July filers. Are you guys with me in sueing USCIS for discrepencies (august/sept/oct filers are approved, but we are not)? I researched on it. http://www.fitzgeraldlawcompany.com/faqs/suing-immigration-service.htm

I am planning to do class action lawsuit against USCIS. Please leave your opinion

Personally. I would be concerned to go after a government agency with a lawsuit in a situation like this. For most, I believe the cases are maybe 1-2 months past the desired 5-month processing time. Is that enough elapsed time to file a suit...? ...I'm not sure but doesn't seem like it would be,,,especially since there's no uscis guarantee for any case to be completed within the 5-month target.

I would be afraid that if my name were on such a class action suit, they would just get peeved and somehow misplace my file! It could also potentially result in even further delays if suddenly they (uscis) had to engage in legal proceedings for all the cases listed on the suit. The link you have referenced also mentioned that even if you win your case,,,the anticipated time for them to complete processing & obtain approvals is 180 days! Man! What if legally the uscis could then re-start the clock over again with the dreaded 180 day time frame! Augh!

I don't know,,,, maybe it would have merit,,, but I'm a big chicken! bak bak!

I'm not a lawyer, I'm just a guy who likes cats. But in my opinion is not so much about the 2 months delay (thats a conservative estimate for my petition). It is about their decision to transfer their oldest cases (June/July/August or JJA) on hand to a new service center that didn't have any experience processing I-130s and was evidently understaffed and/or ill-equipped to handle the work load. No chance that those cases would be touched for at least 3 months, and they should have known that. What should have been done is to forward all NEW cases to TSC, or transfer the 35000 newest cases instead of the 35000 oldest cases. That way, all cases would probably still be completed within 5 months. They way they chose, they guaranteed that all JJA cases would be done in 6-8 months while other cases would be done in 2-5 months. Seems to me that goes against their mandate to process cases in the order that they are received. Certainly what they did was unjust, but I don't know that it constitutes a lawsuit. I know that civil cases follow a different set of rules than criminal cases. I'm certainly willing to look into it though.
