I disclosed my USMC Retirement and VA Disability pay when submitting my now wife's K-1 and plan on doing so for the IR-1.

Agreed

Reporter called to day to schedule photographer to come by tomorrow night to snap some pics, article to be published this week, probably Friday....................I'll keep you posted.

If he is stall active duty, she just needs to get in touch with his Command Sergeant Major, he'll straighten him out. She may want to contact the Command Chaplain as well..............
I'm a retired Marine, I had to deal with dirtbags like this before, they always lose.

Good Luck, it appears that the sense of compassion has dissipated.
Please post your story on my blog too, your situation merits some attention.

Hey Guys <sigh>
I am wore out.......but I did just get a call from the Orange County Register and they scheduled an interview with me tomorrow at noon. The reporter read my blog and felt the story was very compelling.
Now if the rest of you would start posting your stories in the comments of my blog, it may help the chances of the story getting picked up nationally. Think about it.......I've greased the skids for you guys.

NAACP and ACLU are pretty much one in the same.................they had a REAL purpose at one time.

Thank you for your kind words........
I just completed filing Legal Intake forms via the ACLU's Southern California web site. I'm ready for battle!!

If you're on Facebook, I would appreciate if some of you would make a comment on my post (Wade Grant) here: http://www.facebook.com/usembassybkk
Somebody has to listen. Even if the Embassy cannot do anything directly, they can make some inquiries, if they have a heart.
Thanks
No problem zoe, I am being realistic and have become a bit cynical with this fiasco.

Hey Chief, a Congrint will probably do much better than anything that we could do. I wished i was still on Active Duty because this is the route that I would take. If I recall correctly, they have 72 hours to act upon a Congrint.
Good luck and Anchors away swabbie............

You have a choice. Raise hell with your elected officials and contact your local and national media outlets. Don't just sit around wondering if and when you'll get approved. Do something about it. If more people would raise a stink like I suggested, it would help.

The email I received earlier today was from Denice Mitchell. It was a response to my follow up email to her on Thursday which I CC'd Congressman Rohrabacher's aide. I had left the last digit off of the receipt number in my my original email that I sent to Barbara Valarde Monday morning which I forwarded to Denice Mitchell Tuesday and followed up on yesterday. Damn, does that confuse you?
We'll have to wait and see what happens now. At least I know that a manager at TSC is personally looking into my situation.
I am mentally and physically exhausted with this whole ordeal.
Oh, I also got an email from a writer for the local paper tonight, going to answer it now. Regardless of what happens, I want to make damn sure that this whole fiasco is made known to the general public.

Regarding background checks, when I got my Top Secret (retired Jarhead), I had it in 3 months..................just saying.

Same on the expedite, I have gone round and round with USCIS on the phone only to hear that if I do not hear anything after 60 days of expedite approval, then it will get escalated. What's the point of a f00king expedite if you have to wait 60 goddamn days!!

Calling them because I was approved for an expedite on the 12th and still nothing. Ridiculous....................

Just called USCIS 800# to check on the expedite request from November 8th. The expedite request was approved and my wife's I-130 is on an adjudicator's desk right now. The agent I spoke with stated that a notice was sent to me on Monday advising me of the approval of expedite.
Now if I can get my wife and son home by Christmas.......................
