USCIS Substnly Changes Congress's Wordng of IMBRA

[Rick2000 0]

START CALLING AND FAXING SENATORS/CONGRESSMEN and EVER MAJOR NEWS AGENCY EXPLAINING THE CONTINUED USCIS MISTAKES INCLUDING THE FACT THAT USCIS HAS USURPED CONGRESS, i.e., they changed the wording on the IMBRA law using the word "or" when the law states "and" when talking about the numerical number of fiancee petitions and the 2 year requirment on the IMBRAlized I 129-F and REF sup.

The new IMBRAlized I 129-F and supplementary questionnaire state:

"If you have filed two or more K-1 visa petitions at any time in the past or previously had a K 1 visa petition approved within 2 years prior to the filing of this petition, you must apply for a waiver. To request a waiver, you must submit a written request with this petition accompanied by documentation of your claim to the waiver." "If you are seeking a waiver of the filing limitations imposed by IMBRA, you must attach a signed and dated request for the waiver, explaining why a waiver would be appropriate in your case, together with any evidence include, but not limited to: a death certificate, police reports, news articles, or medical reports from a licensed medical professional, regarding the death of an alien approved for a prior K visa."

If I am not mistaken, IMBRA actually states that such a waiver is necessary if one is applying for a third petition (already had 2 and one was approved). Here is the actual wording:

(2)(A) Subject to subparagraphs ( and ©, a consular officer

may not approve a petition under paragraph (1) unless the officer

has verified that—

‘‘(i) the petitioner has not, previous to the pending petition,

petitioned under paragraph (1) with respect to two or more

applying aliens; and

H. R. 3402—108

‘‘(ii) if the petitioner has had such a petition previously

approved, 2 years have elapsed since the filing of such previously

approved petition.

Bushocracy at work.

Interesting that examples of evidence for waivers involve death of the fiancee as if other reasons don't end relationships, e.g., cold feat, homesickness, bi-directional parental-child separation anxiety, and parents not wanting to lose "third word social security" or child's pay check.

By the way attorney Gary Bala doesn't mind this USCIS rewording of IMBRA- states they can only take a limited number of waiver cases.

Ummm, Huh? I'm not sure a typo warrants a call to congress, senators or the media.

Was your reply about my post pointing out a critical departure from how democracy works and attacking me personally? Calling me "he is just that blasted troll again. he keeps re-registering. Scumbag." If so it would nice if you could contribute some info or at least opinion that promotes human dignitiy or human rights or human growth; ever heard of such?

Hmm human rights and human growth....

We have the human right to ask trolls to piss off.

This site is all about human growth, advancing our relationships.

This is not the right forum for your political agenda. Take the hint and ####### off. OK?

Rick,

I know you ARE on a visa journey and will benefit a lot from VJ, but continuing on this agenda is going to draw adverse replies. I am sending you a PM
