Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?

[OsLoraTamm 0]

Ok, in addition to the contacts sent to by the press release for the Hershey Kisses I sent info to Lou Dobbs, Associated Press, the Drudge Report, and WTOP News radio in DC. Anybody have any other ideas?

I guess a press release isn't all it takes and it seems to me that this is newsworthy?! Somebody should give us a little notice

I contacted the Washington Post about the article they had on the front page about 4 weeks ago about K1 Visas and aske about any follow up they would be doing....in fact that was how I found VJ.....and they said they had little response to the article even though they ran it front page......I was disappointed......so I thought about writing letters to the editors....but in this area people are crazy about illegal immigration and they are lumping us into that catagory...and then of course you have the woman from Lebenon who had a sham marriage and became a CIA operative....It could not be any worst timing.....I sent out email to all of the Congress and got a couple of auto response....Senator Martinez if Florida responded with a.....We know about USCIS...they are the worse agency in the government....If that is true then why is the Gonzalez guy still have his job??????.......I just want to rip something up.....augh........anyway I am calling my Congressman again....It has been 2 weeks since they told me that our file was assigned to a case worker......he or she must of gotten lost coming to work because I have nothing as of 20 minutes ago........Lora

Hmmm, sounds like it is easier to get a job at the CIA than it is to get a k1

I bet if I sent a press release that I kidnapped paris hilton's friggin dog the press would be camped in my yard within hours!!!

Perhaps because you didn't go through someone like, say, the Associated Press, it didn't get noticed by a lot of people?

I don't know, really.

Maybe the only thing that would get noticed is a full-scale protest in front of DHS.

Actually, I am confident the press release service sent it to ap. They sent it to every news outlet. I also checked the ap website and sent the release myself to the address they have for it.

You are probably right though, only something like a protest with people getting arrested or something would get noticed.

I also think if we were 'undocumented' or here on H1B we would get more sympathy as well.

Oh well, I hope they think about us when eating the Hersheys

I just had another brilliant idea -

Ok, so far the press release and other attempts to get others to circulate our Hershey's protest has not been much help.

But the purpose was to 1) let VSC know we're tired of waiting 2) get sympathy from the public, and 3) let politicians know our plight.

We might be foiled in number 2, but we accomplished the first and I have an idea on how to succeed with number 3 yet.

We can send our congressmen/women and senators the press release DIRECTLY by email. They all actually read these emails from constituents and it would be a way to follow up on our past complaints to them about the process so they know it's ongoing. The press release is at this link :

hersheys press release

Let's make this work for us

PS can someone post the links to email ur congress people and senator, thanks!

I was thinking about going to Washington and personally giving the offices the press release and a copy of the Washington Post Article .....but this being Thanksgiving week I am not sure there would be very many of them there......Holidays with there love ones....Not that I can do that........My loved one is in Peru....I have an uncle who is a lobbiest for a large law firm who I am going to quiz about the art of lobbying....Even when this is finished for Oscar and I and he is here....I still think this needs to be fixed and Mr. Gonzalez needs to be held accountable for the mess this agency is in.....Just my thoughts....Lora

Alright! Chile had a earthquake on wednesday and just now, just 2 minutes ago we just had a tremble...I didn't know what to do....all I thought was about my laptop and didn't move! hehehe! It was a short one but the building shaked....

Please be careful Mirla...

Thanks amrssnowangel! I survived a 7.9 earthquake on august and 1000 aftershocks, hehehe..This must be another aftershocks I guess...Chile is our neighbor country so I think maybe it has something to do with that earthquake...

Talking about the earthquake in Chile...Lora, Is Oscar alright? I hear in some parts of Arequipa felt the earthquake but it wasn't that strong...

Lets face it...this was just the earth rumbling under us VSC'ers stomping our feet to get our noa2's....

VSC better start to crank out more approvals to make my SO happy by the holidays... This is starting to drive HIM nuts for the FIRST time since we started...there were three of us with an noa1 date of 6/19...two of those were approved...One (thats us) hasn't heard yet...So now he is worried something is wrong..that we will be denied or have to wait longer for RFE. Pray for him that God gives him strength.

Same here....Oscar had prepared his life to be here with me for the holidays and now that will not happen.....We have people getting NOA2 now a couple of weeks after ours and we here nothing.....Oscar keeps asking me about ...WHY???? and I keep saying....I DO NOT KNOW........vsc is inept....vsc is lazy....vsc is managed badly....vsc just does not care....You choose.......this is very frustrating...Lora

It is frustrating..I keep telling him its all in God's timing..but i know this knowledge doesn't always make one feel any better. We have a huge wait on the other end to. 4-5 months AFTER interview is the Cairo Embassy average to wait...some have waited a year AFTER the interview for AP to end. Its horrific what they put these people through. Amr is just worried we will end up with RFE..but I had past names used...past marriages to verify...and one with an immigrant here on J1 when we married...so I'm sure they will take a hard llook at our petition. Plus with our age gap..him from a "high risk" country. Im not worried...just suspect we will have a bit more of a wait...he just sees others getting from our time area...and wants to be here so much to. Actually, its the FIRST time he's been this way...up till now its been ME.

I think Oscar and Amir(?) should talk....our stories have alot in common besides you and I being neighbors....Oscar has been telling me for months to have patiences but this Irish American girl from New Jersey has none......Now yesterday he was the one going on and on about the length of time this is taking......and I am the one saying we are so close have patiences......but to be honest I am just about at an end.....that is why I keep trying to come up with things to try......call people...email people.....talk to everyone but nothing is working......and we all are at USCIS's mercy and God's grace......Lora
