Write to CNN / Fox News about I130 delays?

[imse82 45]

Sorry if posting in the wrong forum but has anybody tried to write to CNN or Fox News to cover I130 delays and maybe talk to someone from USCIS to hopefully speed up the process?

That's the link for CNN:

If you know the place where to do it, why don't you do it?

Considering the general thought process I see in the USA is that immigration should take longer and be harder (mostly because ignorant people who have no idea about spousal or fiance visas...) not sure this would actually make it onto the news.

I agree. Americans generally equate immigrants with border-hopping Mexicans taking their jobs, so we will not garner much sympathy. One commenter on a news site I go to said they didn't see why a foreigner would even need to live with their American spouse, and should not be allowed to do so. They were upvoted many times. Gotta love people sometimes

People can be so ignorant about this process, and the person that made that comment has obviously never loved someone! It's very sad.

Well that's really cool considering, what, 90% of Americans are not originally from the US having had their ancestors immigrating? Great logic they have there.

I'll tell you how you gather sympathy (or actually rather anger) for your cause. You turn the story around into a political football. This whole was actually caused by a program that Obama fought for called the "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" or DACA.

USCIS completely botched the implementation and handling of about 527,000 undocumented aliens, that by no fault of their own, were born here by undocumented parents. If you want to get a fire started under USCIS's butt, read here and follow my instructions. Basically Republicans are always looking for a good reason to blame Obama for anything and everything. And even as a supporter of most of his policies, he blew it on this one. The Republicans can easily turn this story around from helping people like you and I get loved ones into our country to "Obama puts illegals in line before American citizens". And I can see them over at Fox (Faux) News have a field day with this.

Indeed.

As long as they don't decide to focus on the stories (plenty on VJ) of people being scammed into marriage for green cards. (Well, they'd still have a field day with it, just not the way people here want.)

I would be almost morbidly curious to see what results.

I think even if you could get a Republican news source to raise that banner, the Democratic knee-jerk reaction would be something along the lines of "Republicans making up lies, trying to confuse people about marriage visas. Of *course* all the Mexican spouses want to be reunited with their USC spouses. Aren't those most of our immigrants anyway?"

I seem to recall my inbox at one point getting a lot of petitions saying something to the effect of "the mean old Republicans want to repeal VAWA, a beautiful act that solely helps poor, defenseless abused women."
