August 2012 filers!

[Sami & Farz 1]

Who knows if contacting their congressman worked or not but most August filers that have been approved have contacted their congressman. I think my fiance should call his senator tomorrow with a whole new heap of facts and figures which I will get to work on shortly while my fiance sleeps

I would like to think it is a pile of files. They were dated 6th August and I am 7th August. Please, please let me be in the same pile!

While I would love to share your optimism, I think I am stuck with pessimism

I'm an August 20th filer, and my visa just got approved today with my senator's help. My senator's office and I had been in contact for about 3 weeks trying to figure out what the hold-up was. Finally this morning we filed an expedite request. By this afternoon our case had been approved! I won't change my timeline until I get the package they said they would mail me, however. Bottom line: contacting your senator and/or congressman can help big time. Good luck to you!

Hi everyone, was wondering what "expedited request" means and how we August filers can file one? I contacted my senator, that did absolutely nothing, anyone living in San Diego California who knows who would be able to help me?

It didn't help us at all and I'm July one!

How did he do? Because the woman working for the Congresswoman has no power!

And she won't even talk to me because it's not legal. Oh I forgot we're just a bag full of dirt

And for the expedite what did you ask? Financial loss? Humanitarian? Because that's what she told me it has to be done in a certain way!

She won't even talk to you about it? I didn't know that wasn't allowed. Maybe she doesn't know what she's doing?

My senator's representative was very respectful, and informative. As far as the expedite goes, I based it on the humanitarian condition. The situation in Afghanistan doesn't seem to be getting that much safer. I also mentioned my concerns with the security handover to inexperienced Afghan soldiers.

The second link is a pretty helpful thread about what each of the expedite criteria includes. Hope this helps!

It's because I'm the French one and I called and they don't want it because it's not legal.

Why? It's legal to make people wait nine months and put them in the S????

Hang on in there There are signs things are improving. I am getting a little more hopeful. Tuesdays's has been the most approvals I have seen come out of California since I joined.

You know I give up! I've sold my house as I told you in a pm and it takes 3 months to sign for a place to buy so I gotta find myself a place to live! There's NO Way I'll go to a hotel!

So it's too bad, I won't be able to buy anything in the US and if by any miracle I had this approval, it takes another month to have a stamp on my file... If they still respect the order AND the delays!! Then it has to go to Paris.

The whole month of May is full of days off. Imagine... And they have American plus French holidays!! May 1st 8 9 20 29 : Day off They love to take days off before or after if it's right in the middle of the week... So they're not gonna work much!

Now they won it's all I can say! I won't come back to this site anymore it gets me more depressed!

On bayareaguy and moondream and then hopefully me! Lets go CSC!!!!!
