« I130 Nebraska fillers asking for help » ?

I am ready too !! 
9am CST is 4 pm in France , I will send it at the time for sure !! 
I hope and pray that our common energy is gonna help and we will finally have somebody who will listen to us 🙏

Am ready too
3pm uk 🇬🇧 time 

I’m ready, too!!  I liked the suggestion made the other day. Or it could be something like “Crisis-level delays at USCIS are hurting our families”

I am ready! I think if we all have similar subjects about Nebraska/I-130, it doesn't have to be exactly the same title. It will make an impact to see so many subject lines about the same topic/  

That is the date if you filed on or before, that you can file a case inquiry about it taking too long.
So they can tell you tuff , wait longer...Haha 

its a waiting game.  do u know it took 1 year 7 months b4 my case was approved since feb 27 2017. now now im waiting for an interview date for the past 2months since my case was completed. F2A category is really tough.....  but i must tell u, u need to say strong.  

I had a dream that our 12/15/18 NOA1 case was approved...does that count?? 😆 I guess I'll keep on dreaming 😉

They need to try some employee maintenance...😂

😂😂😂 you can say that again 

I went ahead and already sent one to him to the above email (I posted my email earlier). I do think if he receives many stories he might talk about it on NPR. Let's try it. We have nothing to loose.
He covers immigration and border issues that is why I decided to email him
Why not? 

If we all do NPR, maybe we could all arrange a few hour window that everyone of us could send our own stories and opinions to the same person/email address with the same exact subject heading. That way they don't see 1 email, but bombarded by however many emails we can mustar with the same Subject heading and concerns. Just an idea...

I am about to email jburnett@npr.org  who is on National NPR desk and reports on immigration and border issue. I don't know if we should all try to reach out to him individually or take a group effort on here to create and sign a very thorough letter with signatures. I am going to just send 1 email outlining the issue. But I do think a group effort would get his attention. 

À group effort will be a great idea ! 
 

I'll be writing a salty email to her as well. Maybe stopping by her local office and asking her staff what __ ___ is this responses would be fun. I doubt it will do anything but still... 
 
Apparently it's Trump's fault some service centers are faster/slower than others. Go figure.

I also got the same kind of response from my congressman (but he was talking about how he supported Trump's hostile immigration policies) and was so angry!  Here's how I responded:  (a little salty, but I'm not sorry)
 
Dear Congressman Graves,   If you (or a staff member, or who ever sent this automatic, impersonal reply) would have read my message, you would have seen that I emailed you about LEGAL immigration backlogs, nothing to do with illegal immigration, and definitely nothing to do with building a wall on the border.     My spouse is trying to immigrate LEGALLY and is facing an unwarranted backlog and extreme processing times at the Nebraska Service Center.  I firmly believe in rule of law, so that is why we are doing this legally.  The LEGAL immigration system is broken that honestly no wonder why people are trying to completely circumvent it and come in illegally.  I disagree with doing this, but just possibly if we fix legal immigration, it could have an effect on decreasing illegal immigration as well.   I would appreciate if you would have actually read my concerns and address them personally.  You were elected to represent me, and I, and hundreds of other Americans whose spouses are also going through the same hellish experience all over the country, need your help to make the legal immigration system better.     Respectfully,

I got the same basic canned response form my House Rep and one of my senators. However, I got this gem of a response from Mazie Hirono today:   
 
Dear Scott,
 
Thank you for contacting me regarding President Trump’s national emergency declaration and his border security and immigration enforcement policies. These efforts are part of the Trump Administration’s broader anti-immigrant agenda and are deeply concerning to me. I appreciate hearing from you about these important issues.
 
As a candidate, Donald Trump stoked anger and fear against immigrants with harmful rhetoric and campaign promises that included building a wall at the southern border and making Mexico pay for it, and banning Muslims from entering the country. These policies, combined with the Administration’s indiscriminate immigration enforcement and abandonment of prosecutorial discretion, which divert limited resources to further Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda, have fueled great anxiety and undermined public safety in communities nationwide.
 
Recently, President Trump held federal government employees hostage in a 35-day partial government shutdown to get funding for his border wall. When he failed to secure funding, he circumvented Congress and declared a national emergency in order to divert billions of dollars away from previously approved military construction projects for his vanity wall.
 
While the President has declared a fake emergency, he has largely ignored the humanitarian concerns at the border, including those that he created. For example, the Trump administration has failed to fully reunite the thousands of parents and children it separated since 2017, including under its morally reprehensible zero-tolerance policy. The Trump administration has also detained thousands of children and parents in family detention centers. In addition, there have been multiple reports of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities failing to meet basic standards of care and lacking proper medical care. Last December, two children – seven-year-old Jakelin Caal and eight-year-old Felipe Gómez Alonzo – tragically died in CBP custody, and many more will likely face a lifetime of trauma. 
 
I strongly believe that we should do everything we can to keep our communities safe, but the Trump administration’s border wall and anti-immigrant policies are not about public safety. Instead of addressing the humanitarian concerns that continue to endanger the lives of thousands of asylum seekers, President Trump has focused on separating families, blocking asylum claims, and deploying approximately 5,000 troops to the southern border to install wire fencing and barriers and increase mobile surveillance. Redirecting federal resources to fund the border wall, which will cost tens of billions of dollars and deploying military troops to the border, among other measures, are ineffective and a wasteful misuse of taxpayer money.
 
On February 26, 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.J. Res. 46, a resolution of disapproval to terminate President Trump’s national emergency declaration. I joined a bipartisan group of Senators in supporting this resolution, which passed the Senate on a 59-41 vote. As expected, on March 18, the President vetoed this resolution.
 
The Trump Administration's policies of separating families and improperly turning away refugees and asylum seekers are inconsistent with American values. That's why I took to the Senate floor to speak out against the President's unconscionable policies. During the 115th Congress, I also cosponsored legislation, such as Senator Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) Keep Families Together Act and Senator Tina Smith's (D-MN) HELP Separated Children Act, to reunite children with their parents and end the cruel policy of separating families at the border. Additionally, I introduced several bills to ensure that immigrant children receive the care and resources they need from the time they enter our custody to the time their cases are adjudicated—the Child Trafficking Victims Protection and Welfare Act, the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, and the Immigration Court Improvement Act.
 
Instead of pursuing the costly, ineffective, and morally objectionable policies of the Trump administration, Congress should pass comprehensive legislation to reform our broken immigration system. The U.S. Senate did this in 2013 when it passed the bipartisan Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, which would have made important improvements to federal immigration policy. Unfortunately, the U.S. House of Representatives failed to consider the bill, and it did not become law.
 
I remain deeply disappointed by the President's failure to provide real leadership on these important issues, and his pursuit of an extreme, anti-immigrant agenda. Please be assured that I will keep your views in mind as the immigration debate continues.
 
Again, thank you for contacting me. If you would like to stay in touch with me on this or other issues of importance to you, please visit my website at: http://www.hirono.senate.gov. Please do not hesitate to contact me again in the future if I may be of assistance to you in any way.
Aloha,
 
Mazie K. Hirono
United States Senator

Yes..and this response from USCIS is no consolation... as they don't even acknowledge the "suffering" of families in this response.  
 
Download and read the entire document. Focus on page 8 (last page) Nebraska may get help soon but I am sure we won't see any changes.
