[ThomKimQC 14]

honestly if you think this is bad,wait till you have to deal with the embassy.vermont is beyond slow,but just a warning,get yourself ready,apart from nvc the rest of your journey will be as slow

Not the embassy in Manila, check my signature timeline things moved rather fast once my case was entered at the Embassy. Interview already scheduled for 4-14

I noticed some people tweeting to some news agencies; @nytimes and @cnnbrk. Sooooo, I decided to look up some more, in case anybody is interested.

@NBCNews

@CBSNews

@foxnews

@cnn

@ABC

Let me know if I have any wrong or anything like that. Do you think we should try to focus on a couple of news sources or try to hit them all?

Great! I think its worthwhile to hit them all, you never know who might be interested (and if they see other places are getting 'the story' too, they might be more interested in it, you know? So send to more than one agency per tweet!)

I do have to say, doing this tweeting is kind of helping me a little bit. Its nice to be doing SOMETHING, regardless of the outcome.

A big news station would be great to get on board! I can only imagine how great it would be to see a CNN Special Report on the USCIS! Or a news "investigation" would look even better! Keep tweeting!!!

Guys and girls, I'M IN! My petition is only at the lockbox facility in dallas, tx as we speak. I am ALL FOR THIS! I created a twitter account last night and had planned to before I even filed my petition-just for this. WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS MOMENTUM GOING! I saw the scarce negative comments on this thread... As all MOVEMENTS in the past and in anything, it's not impossible! Everyone who has ever succeeded, had people that doubted them. It's the same with "movements". Creating one huge powerful voice for everyone involved in these processes is EASIER than back in the day when there was no internet.

We all know how popular and how powerful twitter is. LET'S KEEP GOING FOLKS! I've already posted many tweets of my own today, and just retweeted about 10 others! I plan to do this throughout the day! We will be heard!

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.

What do you mean, you cannot?

I mean, I really hope things go for you as planned. But plenty of people on these boards have lost wedding deposits before........

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.

Sounds like a phone rep with a grumpy attitude.

A lot of the info from the phone lines are wrong. I'd stick to UCSIC official processing times if it were me.

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 don't think the foreign born are going to get in trouble with USCIS for tweeting.

There's news on CNN and other networks all the time about USCIS, ICE and CBP. But it's just not about the part of immigration you are interested in. It's about the part that most Americans are interested in.
