Yes, I was very surprised to see the message board(s) that Gary Bala is associated with.

If you're interested in nuking IMBRA as a law, that's the place to be.

Another week has passed and still knoq contact from USCIS.

That´s what´s sad.

[Ladylethal 12]

Yeah, I know.

The fact that the 6/30/06 expiration date appears on both the old 129F and the new 129F draft is unsettling.

Also, the between the two is PART C. On the new form PART C has been extended to include the criminal background information.

After reading everyone's replies, I am still thinking that the new form was approved, and now they are getting an extension on it. It makes total sense. Tell me, how can you get an extension of an existing form with new information? YOU CAN'T. You must first get an approval for the revisions to the form. Ok, now let's think about it. If this new law had never been introduced, they would be still processing with the old form while they are trying to get an extension on it. Which means now that they have the new form, they can use it while they are going for the extension. I called today to Vermont and she said they were waiting for instruction on how they were going to collect the information. I don't know how long before we get any word from them, because first they will have to make sure they have a very good system in place, also they must inform how many petitioners? They are not going to sit on this, because it is only making a wharehouse of backlog. I am hoping Monday is the day.

Also, what calms me down a little bit about the delay is that the background check is on the american citizen.

One of the million times I called USCIS, the officer said "you know how crazy America is right now because of security, especially after 09/11".

And I said, yeah, I know, but the people you´re gonna check is already there.... and he was like "Well, yeah, sounds about right".

Also, the Government signed the law and gave USCIS 60 days to start collecting informations on the petitioners.

So it makes things possible.. shouldn´t go for another 3 months or so.

I really don´t know which form was approved, but if all we need now is an extention, it shouldn´t take that long.

Monday may be the day!

[Ladylethal 12]

Monday better be the day or I might loose it.

I called USCIS today. No info on our case, but as soon as I launched into my now-standard explanation ("Our petition was approved and then recalled due to a change in law, etc.") the woman on the phone interrupted me by saying, "Yes, that's because of IMBRA." She didn't have anything to say as to new procedures, but the fact that someone seemed to have a general idea as to what was going on was a nice change.

I have been doing some thinking on all this and I have some thoughts.

First, I agree that it will be fairly soon when we sill start seeing some action. The USCIS can't afford to wait much longer or they will have a hole so deep they will never get out of it.

Second, Almost all petitions with a NOA1 date before March 6 are done now and have been sent to the respective embassies. That means that when they get back to work it should move quickly (hope).

Third, While this delay has been going on all the embassies have had a chance to catch up. Meaning that when we get our NOA2's we should have a shorter wait to get interviews.

Personally I think the delays we are getting right now will be offset by speedier interviews when this thing gets sorted out. The ones that had petitions returned should get first shot at interviews when they are sent back to the embassy.

Take heart people, things will work out.

[Ladylethal 12]

I hope you´re right Gary!

[GaryC 7]

It's a hope and a wish that things go quickly. I am ready to start my life with Luz and every day that goes by is one less with my baby!

[Cigarovich 1]

Did anyone else notice the GaryC and Luz appear to be disrobed, smiling, and we can't see their hands? Which begs the question - what are they doing and who took the picture??

Answer, Wouldn't you like to know and wouldn't you like to know!!

I'll have to guess Gary is taking advantage of his Goldmember-ship while Luz is "collecting some information." All very above board - glad to see to you guys still on the job here.
