Can only hope the Political Climate in Venezuela will change for the better

Stepson is still stuck down there, not a word from the NVC after 8 years of filing our petition for him. And sure learned not to make an inquiry, will put his name at the back of their list.

Finally the so-called oppostion has an over 2/3's majority, can only hope and pray, still have a criminal type of dictator to deal with that still have power over their military.

Sure didn't help to learn we also have a dictator here, was told this by both my senators and congressmen, only the executive branch determines each countries allotments, our congress has no say in this. And learned recently over this same time span, close to a million middle-easterns came here, 680,000 as immigrants, the rest on student or work visas. The allotements for Latin America were next to zero! DOS and NVC is under complete control by the executive branch!

Then who came out an unmarried kid barely over 21 cannot be sponsored by a US citizen? Still was a depend, all of my kids were dependents until they graduated from college, well over 21 years of age. This is how our society is today, without this education, will be struck in a minimum wage job the rest of your life!

An inquiry does not put his name on the back of the list.

South America timelines are the same as ME.

US citizens can sponsor children, issue here is presumably a step child.

Never could petition for my stepson, was barely over 21 years, but his mother sure could, like over seven years ago.
