I´ll add myself here now.

[jen&darcy 0]

You can add me too Gary. Although, I don't anticipate a NOA2 for a long time considering I am going through Nebraska. NOA1 - 4/21.

Thanks!

[elizaxyz 0]

Well, my NOA1 was dated 4/10/06, and my fiance reports receiving Packet 3 today. So I'm hoping that means we aren't being affected by IMBRA.

<knocks on wood>

[Ladylethal 12]

What? Your NOA1 was on April 11th and you´re already getting Packet 3?!?! OMG That´s more than super fast! Why didn´t Vermont do that to me as well?!?!?!

My fiance manage to talk to someone from VSC on the phone, they told him my case is not the only one... they are recalling at least 1000 approved case from VSC now... they are still waiting for further instruction, at this point they have no advice on what is require yet, we need to wait....

The only thing we can do now is contact the congress office and senator for help to pushing the case to move on....

This is from what my fiancee has posted on her thread

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...30entry200630

I have contacted 2 Senators and my Congressman to push this through.

BTW she was FULLY APPROVED!!! All they had to do was put her visa into her passport when they called her to say it was being held now.

Fixer & ivona ... K1 ... Croatia ... TSC/CSC ... 3/1

Nothing after that. We STILL haven't heard about the NOA2

(TSC/CSC means sent to TSC, which forwarded to CSC)

also, the bill as from the US government's website is here:

NOA1 – 04/05/2006

[Mike n Huong 1]

Ok, I am starting to get worried now, because my case came thru Vermont and got my NOA1 after March 6. This is totally ignorant of our government. If the law was in place on March 6, and we didn't have our NOA1, then why wouldn't they do it before approving it. It makes no sense. They install a law before they even know how to put it into effect.

We need to get this issue into the public eye, just like the illegal immigrants in the US. This is totally unfair to us as US citizens. We need to take action, instead of sitting here taking every punch they throw at us. I guess they rather us do it illegally than legally. Look at all the money they are wasting on just this new law they have. To recall all the petitions is absolutely criminal.

If the law was in place on March 6, and we didn't have our NOA1, then why wouldn't they do it before approving it. It makes no sense. They install a law before they even know how to put it into effect.

From what I understand, the district court in Atlanta issued a temporary restraining order that has since expired, so maybe the petitions were approved while the restraining order was in place...? Still doesn't seem fair to recall them though.

When our government screws up something this badly you can usually only blame nameless bureaucrats. But for an especially screwed up law like IMBRA, there is a name... Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington state. Her manipulation of the legislative process (attaching a bad law like IMBRA to a good law to protect women, voice votes, false testimony to support IMBRA, etc) is what's causing a lot of good law-abiding US citizens and an equal number of foreigners immeasurable grief.
