[Mountain777 0]

HAS ANYONE READ THE THREAD WRITEN TODAY INTITLED: 'FEBRUARY 2008 I-130'?

READ THE POST SENT IN BY USER NAME: FSUmome ...THIS PERSON TELLS THAT HER I-130 FOR HER IRAC HUSBAND NO LESS... WAS APPROVED 42 DAYS LATER! READ CLEARLY... 42 DAYS!! SHE IS NOW WAITING FOR HER HUSBAND IN IRAC TO RECIEVE HIS INTERVIEW DATE. THEY SENT THEIR I-130 INTO THE VERMONT SERVICE CENTER FEB. 6TH 2008

HOW CAN THIS BE? ...BESIDES THE FACT THAT USCIS MUST WORK ON CASES IN ORDER RECIEVED.... THAT IS NOT HAPPENEING IS IT? THIS PERSON IS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST, NAMED 'AHMED'???? WHO MUST GO THROUGH MANY, MANY, MANY, MONTHS OF NAME CHECKS TO SEE IF HE IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO ALQUIDA ETC... RIGHT? THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED EITHER! COULD NOT HAVE EVER IN 42 DAYS.

HERE IS A LINK TO THEIR TIMELINE: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=32429

I THINK WE ALL MUST START WRITING TO OUR CONGRESSMEN, GOVERNORS, PRESIDENTS, AND/OR TO THE LOCAL NEWS STATIONS AND ANYONE ELSE WE CAN FIND TO START MAKING THIS KNOWN THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND IT IS NOT CORRECT OR FAIR.

I think they may have got an expedite based on the issues going on in Iraq

NOT POSSIBLE. WAR DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN 'EMERGENCY' BESIDES THE FACT OF HIM BEING A POSSIBLE THREAT TO OUR SECURITY.... AND SHE DOES NOT STATE THAT THEIR CASE WAS EXPEDITED IN HER MESSAGES ANYWHERE.

Of course it is possible. As someone stated recently, (000) just being associated with an American puts an Iraqi in danger. Being married to one puts them in even greater danger.

I've been wondering about these "special" treatment cases for a while now, ever since Rocketta got aproved like 2 weeks or so in w/out expedite.

A couple years ago USCIS gave omething like 7,000 visas to Iraq interpreters who had worked for the military there.

Their lives were in danger

There was a thread on here yesterday with a link to a meeting that was transcribed explaining how the US is working with Iraqi immigrants - I can't find it at the moment - but it basically said the government wants to fulfill a 12,000 person quota of immigrants from Iraq. And it does have something to with the 'war'.

We haven't filed quite yet, but even I think it's frustrating that some people from certain countries get approved faster, while people from other countries have to wait longer.

I am a little confused and puzzled how a country with suspected al queda ties get a pass? This beurocracy is a joke!

Well you'll pee your pants at Rocketa (however you spell it) the Iraqi getting approved in 11 days!!! NO EXPEDITE!!!!!

Whether some of you think it's ok because they're in a war situation or not ..... as the US is supposed to be protecting it's borders from terrorists .... 11 days does not show that in anyway at all.

Here's the political part:

And, for those who think it's ok for the 11 day approval of an Iraqi .... their country was war torn and a bloody mess way before the US and UK stepped in!!! .... it's their way of life and what they are used to ... and at this rate, the US will look exactly like what the UK looks like now .... in 10 more years .... VERY scary prospect .... I can forsee a couple of visas to Australia being applied for to get the hell out of it in the future.

You'd think the American Government would learn from the huge mistake that the British Government have made, because England is an absolute mess and getting out of control .... fast!

There's a ton of people on here who are from dangerous countries, what about Brazil ???? ..... at least the Brazilians don't appear to harbour Al Qaeda .... let's give the fast visas to the Brazillians ... they at least know how to look good and don't blow up buildings in New York.

You'll all have to ask her maybe but like I said, nowhere does this person say in her messages that their case was expedited.

how the f&%k can the US GOV. do a background check on someone from Irac with a name Ahmed in 42 or less days? Huh? How can they. This puts our national secrity at risk.

And besides, how can OUR COUNTRY let any Iraqie or anyone from that region into the US at this time. Let them live in THEIR countries and work through their own problems... just like we and many other countries do.

All cases from Iraq will be done at an automatic expedite it seems. No reason to get so upset about it, its one country that is getting special treatment, no big deal. You wont even know the half of people from Iraq coming to America right now, the US is being used as the carrot at the end of stick so to speak, you give us some locations of insurgents or suspected terrorist and we will get you out of here so you dont have to worry about being killed.

Fair or unfair, I don't think getting mad about other people getting approved does much for your case. How about getting mad that YOU have NOT yet been approved? The fact that someone from Iraq gets through in 2 weeks isn't what makes the process screwed up. The process is screwed up because the average tax-paying, law-abiding working slob (most of us) has to wait about a year for some a$$hole in a USCIS office somewhere to put his coffee and donut down long enough to yank our file off a shelf and do 15 minutes worth of work on it so that we can reunite with our loved ones.

And as for Iraq, I'd expect my wife would deserve expedited treatment, too, if she risked having her house blown up should her Japanese neighbors learn that she was married to an American.

yes i totaly agree with u mr wally

ppl need to stop hating on iraqis.. and whats with the name how do u know it wil go thru ap..? come on guys be human.. whos scrwed up? USCIS exactly.. even i saw ppl who applied after me get approved

i kept aptience.. ya its tough but we all know not to rely on uscis..

so the iraqi has nothing to do with this..

its all about luck.. god is good to those who wait patiently.. i just got approved last month i waited 6 months and ya i feel bad for ppl waitin 8-9 months but the person who got aproved in 22 days or so .. hats off to him

Nobody is hating on iraqis

But USCIS has policies that they absolutley do not follow. FIFO?

[MsZ 6]

It is prejudice and nothing more to suggest that all Iraqis are terrorists, and that's exactly what some people are stating in this thread.

And yes, Iraq was dangerous before. That doesn't get us out of responsibility for how dangerous it has become now. I'm not anti-war. But I recognize our responsibility in Iraq.

Anyway, I agree that it is the process that's screwed up.

And, anyone who can prove that their spouse is in danger can apply for an expedite. The process allows for it.
