Petitioners and beneficiaries - Stop whining about the government shutdown!

[Myopia 93]

Finally people making sense. Just keep in mind if they do not fix our economic problems and cut government spending there will be no America to bring your loved one too. America has for to long spent more money then it brings in, we all need to make sacrifices. Both Democrats and Republicans need to realize we can no longer spend the way we have been and if shutting down the Government is what it takes for them to realize that. Then I am ready to make that sacrifice even if it means I have to wait an extra month or 2. But more then likely at most it would be a few days to weeks. If it is longer then that I will be on another plane back to Cambodia.

And for people crying for socialized insurances and entitlements you might want to research what happen to Argentina when they went to socialized society it has never worked, it has always bankrupted countries.

Yea. The UK is very bankrupt. Very.

Have you no sympathy? I am about to Express Mail my wife's N-400 packet tomorrow, and it is very likely, there will be nobody in Phoenix to sign for it at the other end.

OMG! I just looked in the mirror, and I am going bald! #######!

Help me Mambo Obamo Mama! Make the voices in my head stop before go back to being a lice infested hippie!!

Even people on here seem to have no heart. I'm lucky that I'm having my husband stay here with me in Germany. We had SIF just a short while ago and waiting for the interview appointment. It's a shame we might get delayed now. Oh well, at least we are together <3

PS: I think Mister Backslash signed on here just to talk BS.

You're navigating through a system that already has a lot of variability built in when it comes to how long your petition or application takes from filing to approval. Which service center your petition goes to. Which consulate your approved petition goes to. The day of the freakin' week the service center receives your petition. Whether you paid by check or money order. Whether the foreign beneficiary can get a medical appointment in a timely manner or not. Whether the asswipes who share a country with the foreign beneficiary feel like blowing up a bus stand or start a riot the day before the interview. I could go on but you get the point. There are already a million different things that cause each one of us to have a slightly different timeline than the other.

And you want to whine about the government shutdown?

It is but one more variable in a long series of many. And it isn't even the most impactful.

So stfu about the shutdown already. This shutdown debate is about something a lot bigger than you or I.

Welcome to camp Quicherbitchen. Reality its whats for dinner.

When it will cost getting hired for a job because work approval is delated, in this job market, it is a very big deal!!!!!

The debate in Washington is between millionair congress/exec and oligarchs over who gets what. So spare me the "bigger than you or I" stuff. The people who control 80%+ nation's wealth are not paying for 80%+ of the expenses. So they run us in debt and now want the balance of the wealth owners to pay the bill and suffer the results.

Besides, the visas are funded like the post office by the customer. However the postoffice will be open.

I think the problem with the posting about the shut down is kind of amusing.

There are many people in this country who don't understand the shut down; so I definitely wouldn't expect people from other countries to understand either. And it's totally normal to want to know how the shut down will affect the visa process. That's not whining; that's just wanting information.

So, people come to the site, look in the area that's important to them; like K1 process. They don't see a post that addresses their question about how the shut down affects the process, so they ask. Their post then disappears to the P&R section where it annoys the people there. And then the next person comes to K1 looking for a topic about the shut down, they don't see one so they post their queston, and the cycle continues.

The people in P&R have no interest in the shut down and the people who want to know about the shut down have no interest in P&R. Perfect.

Who are you to tell me what I can or can't complain about. I've been dealing with this process for a year and now that I'm at the last stage with a few weeks to go this happens. This is a heck of a lot more impactful than just waiting x number of days to make up for the shutdown. People are still sending in petitions which will now be backlogged even worse. Interviews and appointments that have to be cancelled will be rescheduled making another backlog at that step. So I can complain if I want and if you don't like it that's just too damn bad. You can skip reading my posts and STFU yourself.

I agree with you on this! This guy should go STFU!

I am literally at the end of my Journey after more than 16 months of waiting we are finally almost done at the NVC literally with in a week of getting out of there and now this happens! I am ready to scream!

There are plenty of threads about this in the Politics/Religion forum.

My wife is here...so I don't care if this government shuts down or not.

You say bad things. I don't like you!

[BrandonandKhandaa 1]

Many people don't realize that there is a political forum here. Why would I come to VJ to talk politics? I wouldn't have discovered this post if it weren't by chance. And this is what I get. Some guy with a bunch of hearts under his name (so supposedly a know it all) telling me not to worry about a government shutdown because of the variables? It's upsurd. I'm over seven months into the process. We are clinging onto our sanity. Day by day, we are waiting to hear that our petition has been approved, while other members here who filed long after we did are celebrating their NOA2s. If this isn't a place for us to vent to each other and encourage one another, why are we here? It's just poor taste, and this guy is simply a bunghole who enjoys looking down on people who are stressed out.

Ya, I moved this thread to General Immigration Discussion Forum -

The backstory on 'why' the government is shutting down IS political, but the OP did not address that, at all, hence the move.

The shutdown may or may not affect USCIS/NVC/Consular activities, and it's to the 'greater good' that this actually be an immigration topic.

Since the OP directly addressed the IMMIGRATION aspect of the shutdown, and not anything political CONCERNING the shutdown, I moved it to where it would get the right exposure.

One year?

The people who control 80%+ nation's wealth are not paying for 80%+ of the expenses.

Actually, the top 10% pays the vast majority of everyones expenses. Read a book, willya?

I'm over seven months into the process. We are clinging onto our sanity.

If your sanity is that easily disrupted, I suggest you proactively seek the help you need. Life is tough. The challenges don't end here.
