March 2010 CR1 filers

[Rich and Bey 1]

wow one was approved for february 24th. we are regressing not progressing.

[anthonyddiggs1 1]

No I haven't even made the appointment. I plan on talking to the state senator liaison tomorrow morning and see if they can contact USCIS directly to find something out. if they can't, then i plan on going with the appointment and just going ask them basic questions (i dont even have a copy of what was submitted so i am kind of in trouble but oh well. have the receipt number).

1) Any updates as I have been waiting for over 5 months?

2) Is there anything wrong with my case?

3) Any further evidence needed?

Please feel free to add or comment and let me know what your plan of action is when you go.

Those are the same questions I was thinking of.

[TomD 4]

hey JD12 have you figured out what to ask them when you have your appointment. I am still thinking of what to ask them when I get there and what to take to the appointment.

I wouldn't cancel the appointment even if you get your NOA2. I think you deserve some of their time and should get reasonable responses to questions you may or should have.

First off I would got there with some supporting documentation regarding other peoples time frames for going through the process. I would also bring a copy of the package you submitted to the USCIS along with your proof of payment.

The questions I would be asking is for them to justify why your case is so far out of time with other similar cases. Take the offensive give them the facts as you know them and ask them to justify your having to wait longer. Go to there site and take their words with you regarding first come first serve. Families having priority and so on . Once you do a little looking and thinking I am sure you could find legitimate things to ask. Then I would be asking them to expedite your case at least to the point where others who had you same time frame are.

Of course if your not into it then you get what you get. I am not saying it will make any difference but it might and should. Remember they are their to serve you and you deserve fair and equal treatment.

I agree with that but my question is how can you give them any of the other people here on VJ approval without knowing there receipt number for them to validate it. especially for people that have been approved around your time frame.

Tony, JD,

Look here I didn't say go in there screaming!!! You need to be calm and collective. You're a victim in all of this. You know its not deliberate. You are not accusing the person your speaking with so keep your emotions out of it. You need to shame them into it. Your the ones who are suffering not them. Negotiation skills...

With regards to supporting documentation. This is not a court of law. You dont need certified, objective evidence or proof beyond a reasonable doubt. What you see on here should be good enough. Don't tell me they think we set up a website just to make them look bad..haha Just print out some peoples posts. Be selective your only looking for those that support what ever point your trying to make. ALso some of the charts. I think what we have here is certainly a good random sampling of the general public. Look at opinion polls and voting polls ...Your trying to show things that support your concerns and know body can fault you for that. I dont think they will put a FO on your file for asking reasonable and educated questions. You guys know the process now ... You understand Haiti and perhaps Chile have slowed things down. You just want fair treatment. Right.

Your right Tom, I guess I was reading too much into your other comment. I think I just need to step back and take a deep breathe of fresh air . Considering I of all people should know how to deal with government employees . Well let's see what happens when I meet with them. Be certain that I will have all of my ducks in a row

Like all things in life. The better prepared you are the better the outcome will be. Good luck my friend... may the spirits of Balbo, Desoto and Cortez be with you...haha

Anthony and JD12,

Please share your experiences as you go through the USCIS INFOPASS and senator's office. What is the out come .. please share.....will keep an eye on that.......since we are also next in line......so it would really help ......

Can you please share the link of USCIS where you found information about emailing to CSC. Thanks

[kruz_patz 22]

wow one was approved for february 24th. we are regressing not progressing.

The user has put wrong dates in NOA-2 columns............His case at NVC has been completed on 11th august 2010. And that's what he put as NOA-2 date as well.

I thought at first that it could be the case of RFE......but then I looked at his timeline and it reveals the typo.

So USCIS is not retrogressing.....lol...

Couldn't help it, I had to look at the historical timelines for IR1/CR1 visas on VJ. It says that they are now processing April 27th NOA1! They are WAAAAAAAAAAY off. I think we are going to see a major change in those graphs.

Have to love the statement:

"The statistics below are generated from the member supported timeline section and reflect actual data provided by members just like you! Remember to add or update your timeline here. "

I must have missed the NVC train!

[kruz_patz 22]

On 31st august...it will be 5 month mark for you.......I don't think i will receive my NOA-2 in this running month at all....with this speed no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
