Decrease wait time for I-130 Petition for Alien Relative

[mksobe 31]

Please copy my post and spread the word
I've been waiting for over six months to get my NOA2... nothing yet ... I am only asking for my right.
1. I paid a price of an application to get it processed and I deserve quality service.

2. I am a U.S citizen and I deserve an easy process and quick process that can ease my life as well as my wife's.

I just signed the petition "President Obama, USCIS, DHS: Decrease wait time for I-130 Petition for Alien Relative" on Change.org.

Over 1200 people already signed this and about 723 are needed.

It's important. Will you sign it too? Here's the link:

Thanks!

What is your right exactly?

[Cathi 5,771]

Immigration is a privilege, not a right. You are still within the normal processing times. Just because you are a citizen doesn't give you the right to bring anyone here.

To have our petitions processed in a timely manner? To get a service that we paid for? To get actual information regarding our cases instead of being outright lied to? To not be delayed for an indefinite period of time because the USCIS's internal processes? As it says here: http://uscgreencardpetitionerscommittee.blogspot.com/

"According to federal law, adjudicating residency petitions of US citizens, for their foreign spouses who are living abroad, must be a top priority of USCIS, in the interest of unifying our families. "

This is not what happened, and not what is happening. There is no excuse for creating this backlog. They could have continued sending our petitions to the field while they got the NBC up and running. They could have taken some people from various petition categories instead of just the I130's. They could have allowed the K3 petitions to be processed instead of joining them up and administratively closing them. There are a zillion and a half things that would have been better than how they handled it.

12-16 months is not normal processing times just because they are saying it is. Because I am a citizen, the law says my case should be a top priority of the USCIS. What you are suggesting is that I should not be able to have the expectation that the USCIS follow the law, nor that I have the right to accurate information, or that I shouldn't be able to complain that the USCIS is not performing it's job. I vehemently disagree with this assessment. I may not have the right to bring my husband here, but I do have the right to have my case processed in a timely manner. What we're discussing here isn't whether or not our relationships are bonafide, because even the USCIS stats seem to show that most petitions are approved for this immigrant class. If they're going to deny our petitions, then it shouldn't take more than a year to do so.

It's my right to ask for a quality customer service to which I made a payment to. Thanks for the reply, but it seems like your perceptual thought made a quick reply that is irrelevant to my concern. I also understand from your response how far your elaboration can be, with a pessimistic concern, about deciding to comment on a small portion of my topic and intentionally ignore the big picture. فعلا... الأردن اولاً حتى في العناد

I am only talking about my right to ask for quality customer service in a proper manner, which may be performed by interacting with the public officials and maybe the government to expedite everyone's case.

If everyone is expedited, no one is expedited.

I meant "expedited" as in considering the timeline back to the average of less than 6 months rather than over 11 months.

OMG... your timeline states that you had 21 days between NOA1 and NOA2. I'm sure you understand my point

OK. That's fine then. Requesting a reduction in overall averages makes more sense.

My timeline doesn't make me less able to understand your points.

Wow, your case went through really quickly. Congrats on that, especially given the current state of the I130 petitions. I honestly don't wish a situation similar to mine on anyone else.

No, we've gotten answers from the USCIS, but they've all been lies. The only real facts about what's going on are the ones that we've been finding ourselves, independently of the USCIS.
