This link will be only a start to making yourself heard with what is going on right now. Backlog of I-130's, Chicago Lockbox returns, misinformation for advice from USCIS -

After speaking to many of you over the phone the last couple of days and sensing so much frustration and dismay, even from people that are almost done with their journey (which we newbies thank you whole heartdly) here is just another step for us to take. We can remain patient which yes we have no choice there, but some of our personaltiies draw us into raising our voices and this is one way. For the others that are being calm, god bless ya mates, we will just raise our voices a little bit more for you. Taking a legal action never hurt so I will continue to try and I am just gobsmacked as to the issue on workers visa's and them bringing their spouses here within a matter of weeks to a few months max. That is pure bs.

Sorry but proactive here and need to throw my energy into something creative for all,.

Cheers and lets move forth.

Done and signed. Thanks Susie. Would recommend applying not only to LPR (who get worse consideration than we do) but also to USC as well.

I signed it and gave some comments as well. I think the entire process is ridiculous. I don't understand why law-abiding citizens have to suffer for so long from uniting with his/her loved ones. Something has to change. Going though all these hurtles and providing redundant information seems so unproductive. I don't mind providing any information my government needs, but if I provide it, they better act on it in a useful manner and not create so many layers of BS that makes it difficult for me to be with my loved ones.

I think everyone on this site would want to sign this petition, not just certain visa types. We are all being kept from our loved ones and it's excruciating for everyone. Could this go somewhere that we will all see it?

Dotto's After all, Do they have to show 10 or 20% above poverty level and prove hundreds of documents etc etc... This is one of my goals.... Thanks for starting this petition

[rebeccajo 14]

You all realize that this petition is asking for changes in the law for legal permanent resident petitioners, and not for USC petitioners?

hmmmm Mabey explain how that can hurt the USC trying to get our sposes to the USA??

Well, I'll try.

I've worked with political action committees whenever they lobby for a law change. And I've worked with them regarding immigration law.

As you probably already know, immigration law is pretty complex. So much so, in fact, that it's regarded by attornies as one of the most complex arenas of law one can practice. The INA is broken up into categories by different visa types, and what applies to one type of 'immigrant' doesn't apply to another.

A change in the code for LPR's would not benefit USC's. The law simply isn't written that way. This petition appears to me to be an effort to have that section of the INA modified. Unless the legislation was written in such a way to benefit ALL petitioners, USC's would not benefit.

more it does make sense..

Hi Susie,

I did sign the petition, but am surprised to see it has no mention of US Citizens. Are you a USC or a LPR sponsoring your spouse? If so I think a transparency in your postings would be highly desirable.

I am a USC - it was one of the few petitions that I saw that could apply to some one here, once I find one that states in detail spouses etc of USC will post........am trying here. But researching it now and Rebecca is correct in the wording so will just spend another few days looking for another one/ The issue that caught my eye was about workers coming over here and having the right to bring their families in a god damn heartbeat. Sorry that issue is sticking really far up in the air right now, and it is so simply wrong. I will fight it, I dont care if I lose that fight, at least I can say I tried every damn avenue available and every side street/

Cheers

Susie,

I signed the petition; alerting others not part of VJ family & hopefully, they will become part of this struggle. It's a great cause; keep it up! Remember, most change begins at the grassroot -- we're IT!

[rebeccajo 14]

There's nothing wrong with signing this petition. We should all stay informed of immigration issues.

But you might want to look to organizations who have the muscle and the money to make real change. Here's a link to one of them:

www.americanfamiliesunited.org

[AandLKC 1]

are you suggesting we should appeal their ... i don't think appeal in the right word .... how long its going to be if we go through that rout ...

i think the fastest way a political body LISTENS is when it comes from a media ... i have said this here ones.

petitioning to these organization is good but we have to wait Months to see results .... that is if anything happens

just my thoughts
