Wondering any chance to let media know or write petition letters to Antony Blinken ,head of DOS ? LA times has some reporters on immigration issues.

1.From my observation, it is true that Canada goverment began more tougher background check to immigration appliciants since mid 2023. Similar as DS-5535 process. 2.Another thing is for their job security , tons of 66k DS5535 cases need 66000 working hours to clear (1 hour each case). An analyst working hours is ~2000 per year, so need ~33 staff at DOS to work one year , that is why they requested budget for it last year. Imaging if DS-5535 gone , where 35 positions gone ?

Similar as mine. Actually they checked online then updated on CEAC web, based on the submited DS-5535. Some checks will be sent to DC.

the IV cases stuck in Consulate (include MTL) cannot been released until closed. Usually if got visa issued, few people request FOIA to see why the VO rejected to issue visa in interview day and following process. for IV FOIA ,send to DOS. Not USCIS.

Currently Supreme Court to hear case of Los Angeles man denied visa over his tattoos. Interesting , might it has some impacts to all VOs? The following excerpt from LA times: “The Supreme Court has never held that U.S. citizens and longtime residents have no right to due process, or even the right to a day in court,” said the couple’s attorney Eric Lee. “That would be a bombshell decision that would just explicitly give all of the consular officers and immigration agents all across the country carte blanche to violate the Constitution.” https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-01-12/supreme-court-will-hear-case-of-los-angeles-man-denied-a-visa-over-his-tattoos

From ***REMOVED*** immigration forum , exactly one IR1 case with DS5535,cleared in 3 months at MTL in 2022. I suggest if you have time , might read meeting briefs of DOS consular unit speaker with AILIA under Visa News,@ travel.dos.gov web site , very informative 😄
