My senator's office confirms that K-3s are being cancelled

[N360 0]

Nope, I believe that the USCIS has told you they canceled your case. You could care less your I130 is approved. I do not remember denying your reality or anyone else's.

The humerus thing about his post is there is another one stating that their senator stated that the USCIS is still processing petitions for the K3 visa. So noelandtintin you prove to me, which one is fact! Prove the fact. This is a fact to you, but how are you going to prove what is fact. By presenting evidence in documentation.

We dont live in a world that is black and white. Not every fact can be presented with a documentation.

I remember growing up in Philippines during the Marcos (A Philippine dictator) era, that Marcos had a small village literally burned down because he thought or thinks this village was hiding someone that he was looking for.

You wont find any of this event that happened in any newspapers. I wouldnt be able to "prove" to you that this fact had actually happened. But it is a fact nonetheless.

As I was writing this, I just realized that there's proabably many similar undocumented facts that happened say... In Nazi Germany. You'd probably have a hard time convincing the families of those that suffered that what happened was not a fact.

As a matter of fact, I just realized that undocumeted facts happen everyday. The cancellations of K3s on this forum is proof of that fact. :-)

This thread reminds me of a popular saying, "You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts."

There is no doubt these events have happened, but USCIS has never been known to follow their own standard operating procedure. One VJesr was told their K3 was adminstratively closed after the approval of the I-130 only to have the K3 approved a few months later. In time the events will show a trend one way or the other.

You're right edp333. This thread reminds me how sh*tty USCIS procedures, or lack of, are.

Hope I dont have to deal with them too much. NVC seems to be a bit better on following through their stated policys and procedures. They're still slow but at least I have an idea what to expect.

I hope a senator or someone that can change things sees this thread and goes #######?.

Good luck to all those whose still dealing with USCIS on their CR1/IR1/K3 journey!

The Senate does have a committee to oversee the USCIS, but our Federal process is very slow. Maybe if enough petitioners keep contacting their senators something will be done in the future.

The NVC does seem to be better. Unfortunately, I have not been impressed by the NVC or the Department of State. If our visa ever gets approved we still have to deal with the USCIS delays in the AOS process.

Have a pleasant journey.

That is true but there are K-3s still in process that will come out the other end of the tunnel. They seem to be cancelling the I-129s that were received in July and forwards but the ones received prior to that mystery date look like they will continue on their normal course.

If those K3 were filed before July, then they deserve to be priority. :-)

that's the point. if they are being turned into CR1, they won't get the priority that they deserve

The ones filed before July 28 are not being cancelled.

When I finally got a response back, it just left me back at step 1, not knowing if anyone actually knows what is going to happen.

I am in the mood for writing some letters about the current state of immigration. I was thinking beyond just writing my elected officials and thought perhaps to get to the people with the power to actually influence change would be these individuals:

Committee on the Judiciary

Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship

Jurisdiction: (1) Immigration, citizenship, and refugee laws; (2) Oversight of the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the immigration functions of the U.S Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Directorate of Border and Transportation Security; (3) Oversight of the immigration-related functions of the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement, and the Department of Labor; (4) Oversight of international migration and refugee laws and policy: and (5) Private immigration relief bills.

Just thought I would share my findings in case anyone finds letter writing as therapeutic as I do.

oops, looks like the previous list was from the 109th Congress. Perhaps the 110th is more correct:

Immigration, Refugees and Border Security

Jurisdiction: (1) Immigration, citizenship, and refugee laws; (2) Oversight of the immigration functions of the Department of Homeland Security, including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Ombudsman Citizenship and Immigration Services; (3) Oversight of the immigration-related functions of the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement, and the Department of Labor; (4) Oversight of international migration, internally displaced persons, and refugee laws and policy; and (5) Private immigration relief bills.
