Lets collect some information about IMBRA effects

[kitkat1 5]

I liken to to if you went to the DMV to renew your driver's license and they told you that there is a new written driving test but they haven't created it yet and they don't know when they will. So in the meantime, even though you maybe committed to a cross country drive and you are leaving on Friday, you cannot drive and they cannot tell you when you will be able to...

Which begs the question of why one planned a cross-country drive without a driver's license.

Read carefully - my example was if you went to RENEW a driver's license BEFORE a cross country trip.

It was just an example for the current situation we are all in due to DHS' incompetence.

Couldn´t resist.

Just called USCIS again and told my petition was sent back...........

She said "Oh, it must have happened because of this new law regarding IMBRA, and unfortunately there´s nothing I can tell you at this point. We haven´t been given any information".

I also said I knew about the draft form and asked if I was to submitt an application, if I should do it or wait for the new one and she said the same thing: "We weren´t given any information about that yet, sorry".

I know, I know. Nothing new, but we never know when the real facts are gonna show up.

The question remains the same.

HUH? Let's say your birthday is at the end of July and this is when your license will expire. Your plan is leave at the beginning of July to drive across the country and you are not sure when you might return home - could be end of July, could be end of August. Since you are a responsible US citizen, you go to DMV in early June to renew your driver's license early - before the date it expires - just in case you are not at home and are not available to go to the DMV in your city. But when you arrive at the DMV, they tell you there is a new test but they don't have the forms available and they don't know when they will be available.

It was JUST AN EXAMPLE of how ridiculous the situation is. It was to highlight the absurdity that is DHS. After all, they knew the law was going to affect I-129Fs, they just didn't do anything about it. Get it?

No attitude necessary!

Your example illustrates precisely why USCIS and DoS urge K-1 applicants not to make concrete wedding plans until the visa process is complete. Not to mention that your example is really a case of apples and oranges. But there's no need to get into all the intricacies as to why.

Forget it - it was just an example. It was never about making plans in advance or anything of that nature. It was about how absurd it would be if the DMV told you they cannot give you a form and you could not renew your license. . . that's it.

Hi Kitkat, guess we are both on this message board too

I will also join in any class action law suit, let me know what I need to do and what you need from me.

And my idea got beat down last week to have a factually thread about IMBRA. I look through the 100s of posts to see someone asking questions about not having a drivers license. What does that have to do with IMBRA?

Shouldn´t we go back to "let´s collect information about IMBRA" subject?

Let´s forget about the rest and try and gather more information about our petitions and what´s gonna happen to us.

I know the draft is there and we should be hearing something soon, but somehow I´m having one of the worst days ever.

[Ladylethal 12]

At this point there´s nothing further to gather, but rather wait for the new form and possible RFE folks.

At some point someone will hear something and let us know.

Hi folks,

I just got back from the meeting. I will be brief and wont give out too many details. But they will investigate this issue and get back to me on Wednesday. They, along with the entire staff I spoke with also thought that this was rediculous with how they are going about it. They even, through their professional means logicaly deduced the negative outcomes of those immediatly effected. I guess to tally the potential case and income, but they had some interesting think tank ideas of the effects of this slam.

As a disclaimer, I have a no BS relationship with them. They gave me their honest opinions on this, not just to get me excited to start a lawsuit, like most shady lawfirms might do, but so we know we are not alone in thinking this whole implementation of the IMBRA law is preposterous. Even from outsiders looking in.

I had to even actually provide a copy of the law for them to even come to know of it's existance. This law has been implemented so underhandedly, that not even the DHS knew about it until the memorandum was released on May 6th. Seriously!

I wont divulge at this time the strategies of the approach. Nor will I ever, I think. I will leave that up to them if they want to take the case after careful investigation.

Again, this will not be to revoke IMBRA, but to call attention to the squished people (us) it's leaving in it's path as this bahemoth of a ninja law lands.

I hope I am understanding you to mean that this whole situation is and not that I am trying to give incorrect information?
