LIFE'SJOURNEY reacted to Fandango in Shout Out Loud Or It Will Get Much WORSE
It is a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT to bring foreign national spouses to the US. This is a very crucial misunderstanding.
You sound a bit ranty here, and tbh...since you've decided to speak for 'everyone', you really can't say why certain cases are denied. And is it really fair to blame USCIS for 'forcing them to abandon their loved ones'? Don't you think that's a bit over the top? Marriage is about working together through strife, true partners in every sense. If a marriage cannot survive a 6 -12 month physical separation, then how strong is that marriage to begin with? I don't think it's fair to blame USCIS for cases like that. Check the waivers forum...check the couples who have been separated YEARS, and who continue to fight to be together.
Furthermore, the USC always has the option of 'pursuing happiness' by emigrating to the spouse's country.
I'm not trying to ####### all over your effort here, but if I rec'd this letter, it would read to me as very ranty, confused, full of unrealistic expectations, and over emotional. Figure out what you want to say in a very concise manner, and streamline it before it just goes in the 'rant' pile at your Congressman/woman's office.

GO to http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/ and apply if there are any job openings available. If you think you can do better, then please apply for a position in the government, they are always looking for new ideas.
The immaturity I have seen lately from those going through process just amazed me.

I totally agree with you.
Each service center goes through its busy times and slow times. CSC was dragging along a couple of months back and got caught up. I mostly see people who are around the 2-3 month mark complaining about this issue on here, not even people who have reached 5 months plus. People need to learn that patience is sometimes not easy, but necessary. Consider this a test to your commitment to each other and wait it out. Nobody likes having to wait, but be glad that (in most cases) your foreign fiance is safe and healthy. If they are not, I am sure an expedite would be valid in this case. People need to think outside of their own existance sometimes. Perhaps these issues are caused due to humanitarian cases being processed, perhaps funding has been cut, perhaps people are just trying to do their jobs and probably working overtime to make impatient people happy. The letters, constant calls to USCIS and general negativity about the process as a whole does not help workers to process YOUR pending cases any faster. If they drag on to 7 months, 10 months, or a year, then I think these complaints are warranted. Every case is different and I am sure not every application is perfect, so relax a little and think about how grateful you are to have love in your life and the privilege of living in a country that supports (even just a little) your love and vision of your lives together. Not everyone in this world is so fortunate.
If your relationship is strong, you will weather the storm of this process. If you cannot, perhaps you shouldn't be applying after all.
Sorry but I felt it had to be said.

I understood exactly what you meant. Your supposed "right" to get married is not really a "right" because there are substantial government imposed restrictions on it.
The rest of your rant wasn't worth responding to. Your sense of personal entitlement is offensive to people who believe in the democratic process, which is what most people in this thread are endorsing. If you want to change the way the US government works then rally the support of your fellow citizens and present your grievances to your elected officials, but be willing to accept the results if you discover that most Americans don't agree with you. Stamping your feet and demanding recognition of rights you don't have makes you look like either a petty dictator or a child throwing a tantrum.
...stepping off my soap box now...

The process is what it is. Our country has long stopped having open borders because we couldn't handle all the people that would show up with open hands. The government put a process in place to issue entry passes to those that it "wants" to come and developed procedures to keep those that are undesirable out. Companies need workers, and students want to study to improve themselves. Some people want to visit for a while. And then there are those of us that want to marry someone from outside the US. We get lumped at the bottom of the pile because that visa only improves the life of our immediate family. As to raising taxes to get better processing, for every person that has filed for a family based visa there are 40000 that don't and would say no to higher taxes. If we want the process to be faster , we should lobby to close the processing for all the loopholes, Overstayers and adjusting without the correct entry visa. Close those paths and the ones doing it the right way would go twice as fast with no impact to the ones doing it the right way.

I hear you. Unfortunately, there is no special considerations for MOB to attend the US wedding.

LIFE'SJOURNEY reacted to KiwiBird in In what order are applications processed???
What's not cool about it? It's not what I think. It just sounds as silly as the 'conspiracy' and 'they don't care about us at all' arguements!
(Hey, if you can't laugh at silly things while in this process, you gotta loosen up!)

LIFE'SJOURNEY reacted to Boiler in B2 visa and petitioning mother from Philippines
You must see the funny side of this.
Your other post was full of reasons why she could not immigrate and how badly trained etc the IO was not to appreciate this.
Seems the IO knew more about the real situation that you did.

LIFE'SJOURNEY reacted to Deputy Purple in Overstayed and married a US Citizen
Actually they could be charged with Material Misrepresentation which would trigger a lifetime ban. Then they would need a hardship waiver to overcome the ban.
Why "Material" Misrepresentation instead of just misrepresentation? Well because the "I'm married in my home country" statement is used to prove strong ties back home. If the B-Visa issuance hinged upon that strong tie then they misrepresented a material fact that swayed the decision to issue the Visa.

LIFE'SJOURNEY reacted to YuAndDan in Adopted Child, Petitioning Biological Parent
Here is the deal, in the eyes of immigrations your Aunt is your adoptive mother now, in order to be adopted, your biological parents had to give up parental relationship. This in effect cuts off your ability to file a petition.
I don't believe USCIS will approve this due to your adoption.

LIFE'SJOURNEY reacted to ptgarner1 in A biggest mistake in life .. hit my husband
He probably didnt tell her right then that he wanted her to leave because he was afraid she would lose control again. He thought about it overnight and talked to his best friend and everyone told him to get this unstable person out of your house.
I am sorry you hit him and now regret it, but you fiance has also suffered much humiliation as well. He is being laughed at by many of his casual friends and is out a ton of money and time to get you here. In only two weeks you claim he was non supportive of you emotionally, took advantage of you sexually and enraged you to the point of violence.
You both lost equally....you are both where you should be...apart from each other.
