I've been tweeting today, its great to go to the @uscis page and see SO MANY of our tweets there!

My petition is at VSC and I'm extremely concerned since I have my wedding planned for 11-11-11, and my embassy in Canada is known for being slow as well. I CANNOT wait more than 6 months for my NOA2 and I CANNOT lose my wedding. So anyone showing up in this thread to naysay or try and bring us down, you're being pointlessly mean when we are all already under a lot of stress. Help us or leave us, please.

Just keep tweeting. Don't let people bring you down. If there is only a 1% chance that we're going to make a difference then it's worth it to me to try. That's a 1% chance of getting her here sooner. And I'm positive that if we do nothing then there's a 0% chance of us making a difference.

Back to tweeting now.

FYI a friend of mine called for a service request at Vermont today. They informed him that normal processing times are now at 6 months, not 5. They would not take his request til it reached 7 months. His petition is sitting at 6 months 24 days. This is what he told me at lunch today. He is not a VJ member so i am giving the scoop here based on his phone call.

YEP.. THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS AFFRAID OF..... ***IT'S TIME TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO USCIS, GUYS***

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.. WHAT THEYVE DONE NOW IS HAMPERED OUR ABILITIES BY ONE MONTH PLUS THE MONTHS WEVE BEEN WAITING

IF YOU ARE PAST YOUR SIX MONTHS **BOMBARD** USCIS WITH PHONE CALL FOR AN EXPEDITED ADJUDICATION.

in all honesty i don't think any of us "foreigners" should be doing anything to come against USCIS. We are trying to get in to a country and Its not going to do us any good by posting/tweeting negative things about the process or about how retardedly slow they are. Yes, we are all under stress but unless its the American petitioner directly that is making a "voice" and tweeting, i don't think its healthy for us foreigners to be coming against the government and there process like this.

If the government wants to find stuff out about the people who are trying to get in to America they will most definitely do whatever background work they can. That means your Tweets, your facebook, and your Visa Journey posts may not be helping you but hurting you. Yes, i do agree that if we've hit the 5 month mark then we should call and try to get it going but we also need to remember that we need to be nice to USCIS because they are the ones who can deny us from being with our loved ones. So don't make them mad if you are not the petitioner!

I will make an exception to my own rule, only in this case :-)

As a US Citizen/American, I am flattered that you would think the US Government is so sophisticated that they could track this information.

And that said let me remind you that, for the most part, your posts to VJ and Twitter are anonymous.

However, if the US Government is as sophisticated as your seem to assert, then I would submit to you that if that were the case, we wouldn't be sitting around for 6 months+ waiting on a K1 Visa. :-)

But either way.. I respect your decision to exclude yourself if that's what you choose to do.

:-)

Can you please make a list with all the senators and congressmen u tweeted ? I would like to tweet them too ALL !!!

And something else : I think we should add something at #K1Vermonters to show that K1 Californians are with us ... we are together, but needs to be short ( #K1VermontersAndCA ?)
