CSC K1 Approval

[CM&MI 8]

Hello All,

We received our approval today. 10 days ago I emailed my US Senator's office. I included all of the information that I could about the process. I included the Visa Journey site so that they could understand how I was coming up with my information. I included excuses given to other congressional offices, as found on VJ. I talked about the fact that CSC has been working on July 18, 2012 for the last four months. I preemptively agreed with the whole first come first serve basis of approval. What I pointed out was that there were 11 million applications that seem to have cut in line. That, I was not above the law but, I did not feel it fair that many people who are following the law, now seem to be affected by those who have not. I basically thanked them, informed them of what they could expect as an answer from CSC.

I received an email today from the Senator's office stating that the info I had given allowed for an informed argument and dismissal of the excuses given by CSC. I was told to expect to hear from them soon as the USCIS representative was confounded with the informed person on the other end of the line. The Senator's aide also told me that she had no idea of the things going on and could only take what she was told by USCIS at face value in the past. Well, I received an email from the USCIS 3 hours after hearing from my Senator's office, our approval.

My suggestion to all who are still waiting. If, you have been waiting longer than 6 months, email your US SENATOR'S office. Be very polite letting them know you do not seek preferential treatment but, to be treated fairly. Give them the VJ site for their research. Our Senator's office said that they found out a huge amount of information about the process and current state of affairs from VJ that they had never been privy to in the past. Take your time to document all of the inconsistencies from the USCIS i.e. the plumbing problem that was expected to cause no delay, only to be used as an excuse for 48,000 applications. Give the people you are asking help from the tools they need to help you. My letter to my Senator was a couple of pages of clear, concise information as it pertained to my case.

I wish you all of the best of luck. I thank you all for your help and information. I especially thank all of the people at VJ for this site.

Congrats. Unfortunately, it seems like my senators and representatives don't even read my letters regarding the situation and just give me the generic BS from USCIS.

I am sorry to hear that. If you can, try your Senator again, if you have not already. I tried my US House Rep. and they were useless. I then took all of the info I had to negate my Senator office's cookie cutter response, and used it preemptively. The rep. helping me said she was amazed at the fact that I gave her the answers she would hear from the USCIS and they in turn tried to sell her on it. I hope the best for you. Don't give up, keep trying!

Congratulations. It's refreshing to hear happy news out of CSC for a change.

I hope we start to see more and more of these things. My timeline went from mid August estimates when I filed in February, all the way back to October the other day. With your news, I checked again today and I creeped back into a September estimate. Every approval gets everyone another step closer to what we all are here for and that's always a good thing.
