Is that how you think Senators respond to their constituents for everything? Or do they usually care, even 1%, about an issue affecting 10s of thousands of their constituents?

They’re not saying the senator will roll their eyes, they’re saying the staff member that reads the letter will.

excuse me, what's affecting you?

 

You have an EAD and AP, you are authorised to live and work here.

 

the only difference is that your card is red, not green.

 

and the only problem is that you can't bear the wait.

 

I always reminded myself, in our country,it takes 7 years to get permanent residency.

Thanks. I paid $1700 so that must have included EAD or something. 

What visa did you adjust from?

 

either way, AOS fee is only 1225$ including biometrics. When you’re trying to talk for everyone, you don’t want to say everyone’s paid that.

Well I can't help a rolling of the eyes. But, what is her job, and why does her website take submissions, if not to listen to the issues affecting their constituencies? If anything, I think they might throw away the letters that address only 1 person's case, not a letter that discusses the impact on 10s of thousands of cases. 

 

Again we're talking about a tripling of the processing time here that affects 10s of thousands of people. That is a worthwhile message. It's not like I am demanding she step in and make it 3 months for everyone. That would be eye roll worthy. I just am doing my part to bring attention to the slowdown.

I addressed and admitted all these points several times, including my very first post. I suggest you reread. In short, I agree I am not hurt by it. But I have standing as an applicant. And it is an issue for 10s of thousands of people NOW. I don't need to wait until I am at 14 months to bring attention to the senator now for their delays NOW. Not a delay to me. But a delay to 10s of thousands people at this current moment in time. 

 

This logic is unassailable.

How Dalai Lama-y

 

Indians will need to wait approximately 70 years to get an employment based green card, which is affecting 1.3 billion people. can you bring that to Kristen's attention and see what happens?

Not really sure why you did that, but if as you said you are writing this letter as a help to all the NYC filers, then you should probably be more general as most people pay $1225 for an AOS from a K1.  Otherwise it looks like you are just talking about your case/

Hi there, I said in my very first post that I stopped reading at "I am a registered democrat" in hindsight, I should have stopped at "Gillibrand", so I apologize for not reading the entire post.

 

However, going back to my point, the delay isn't affecting EVERYONE. You have an EAD and AP. What will a green card do to you that a combo card won't? , besides allowing you to file N400 after 3 years?

I don’t think they’re ripping and throwing anyone. They are separating parents and children because the parents have broken the law and are being detained. It is sad that the parents choose to do this to their children. We are doing it legally. We have to be patient. Perhaps the longer wait times are indeed because of those that aren’t going about it legally. 

It's sad that the administration is doing this to families when it can very easily not do it.

Thank you, I skimmed it. But that makes more sense as to the panic to OP has. Still unsure why they paid that much tho.

They had to add $535 for the I130.

That makes more sense.

 

also tho, I don’t see her directly stating in the initial post that it was visitor visa, just that they know that other processes like k1 and Cr1 and others have it harder and they’re great full.

 

could just be cause I’m trying to read a block of text on my phone.

 

 

 

also correct me if I’m mistaken but don’t they have to approve the I-130 before they approve the I-485? Wouldn’t their process take longer in general because of that?
