Unjust rules

[Dakine 26]

I decided to marry my wife in Thailand because I have no family here in the USA and she has a huge family in Thailand. I wanted her family to be present at our wedding. I'm glad that we did get married with her family present because we can treasure those memories for the rest of our lives. That's why I choose the K-3 visa route over the K-1. I also thought the K-3 would be faster since it would be forwarded by the NVC to the embassy in Bangkok. I did not want the NVC to process our case. Then the NVC makes a rule that says if they receive the I-130 before or at the same time as the F-129 then they will cancel the F-129. Please unstand these facts.

The K-3 visa is made avaialbe by law. I doubt the REAL intent of the law is to just alllow people to fill-out and submitt a F-129 for a K-3 visa. The intent of the law is to actually allow people to have the ability to obtain a K-3 visa. The NVC has trampled on my rights provided by immigration law. It is VERY HIGHLY unlikely the F-129 will ever beat the I-130 to the NVC because the I-130 must be submitted first. The NVC is part of an agency that falls under the executive branch of government and I do not think it is right for these agencies to make rules or regulations that suspend, alter, or make obsolete a law. The legislative branch should be the only branch of government that makes or changes laws.

Think about this. The US Governemnt produces the F-129 form not only for the purpose of the K-1 but also for the K-3. The Us Governement posts instructions to the public on how to apply for a K-3 visa. The UCISS accepts and processes F-129 application for a K-3 Visa. Our I-130 and F-129 were both approved by the UCISS only for the NVC to cancel the F-129. What a waste of tax payer money and what a waste of resources and time. We now have two agencies working against each other. If the K-3 visa process needs to go away or be changed then it needs to be done in a different way and not the way the NVC is handling this. People should be told up front that they cannot apply for a K-3 visa and government workers should not be on the time clock wasteing tax payer money processing a form that will go no where. This is actually fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer money. Do you know why they have not told people you cannot apply for a K-3 visa? That fact is it is a right for people to apply and I agrue that it is just for people to have a chance of obtaining a K-3 because that is the true intent of the law.

I contacted the NVC a few weeks ago and unloaded on a poor unknowlegable operator. I do feel bad about that. She put me through to a supervisor. I agrued my case and the supervisor was sympathetic but said the decision about the K-3 visa was made in Washington D.C. I demenad that our F-129 application be send to Bangkok imediately because that is why we applied for it in the 1st place. I wanted the NVC and the Bangkok Embassy to expedite our case. The supervisor instructed me what to do to request an expidite and I followedher instructions. The next day the NVC was true to it's word and sent my expidite request to the embassy in Bangkok to see if they will accept our case. That was two weeks ago. I was told that the Embassy in Bangkok can respond whenever they want to respond reagardless of a time frame. I called the NVC yesterday and I requested a status of my request and again was told the Embassy would respond whenever they want to respond, I then explained to the operator that word expedite means to move fast and so she got yet another supervisor to put in another expedite request. I know it will get denied but they should have given me a promt repsonse. I don't undstandhow an Embassy can have such pwoers. They are Government workers who are servants of the People. I wish that the Secretary of State would explain to her workers that they have their jobs to serve the People of the United States. They should not make rules that bypass or alter laws and they should not have inefficiant processes nor should they abuse power that they really don't have. I'm not a lawyer but the NVC is just plain wrong. My rant is over.

Yep! Congress included the K3 in the LIFE Act 2000 and you would think they'ed be the ones that would have to change the law/rules.
