Letter from F2A petitioner (Green card holder/LPR)

SUB :- Huge unissued F2A visa ending in long waiting times

Respected Sir/Madam,

The very important part of family union is being hit for green card spouses with the long waits. The wait time for reunite spouse and child with permanent resident(petitioner) is nearly 4 years. United families with shorter waiting periods will add and increase economic growth, as spouses would be able to work in mental peace and can contribute more in taxes.

I am not demanding anything more. Please check the below data and you will realise NVC is not following immigration act,1990.

Below are the statistics from travel.state.gov that NVC is using only partial quota of total alloted 88000 visas to f2a (under immigration act 1990) and causing agony and a long wait times for green card holders.

sorry friend..i dont want to tell you that they issue 88000 visas or more than that....i want to tell ou that they have issued less than 30% in many years(and probably this fiscal year 2012 is looking like that kind of year)....How can this be justified by any of us???? or even by DoS ???? Please friend dont tell that 70% or 80% of applicant dont respond within the time limit and they dont correspond in time .In F2a people are desperate to meet their soulmate ......you can make this argument for other categories but not F2A...

If you agree please join us...thanks for ur feedback

Guys please ignore this kinds of people who is already with their lovedones and forgot the pain of waiting for several years and making some kinds of negative comments,if we are really wrong than the person whom we sent the email can answer our questions hopefully.plz sent this letter to them.i did it.Thanks GBY.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I appreciate and commend the efforts of CIS and DOS to help alleviate some of the inconsistencies in the processing of applications on the behest of the beneficiaries. However, I would like to bring to your attention

1.The regular under utilization of F2A visas (Petition for Spouse/Children under 21 for Permanent Residents), which has contributed year over year in increasing wait time for reuniting with the immediate family member to over 4 years.

2. Total lack of transparency into demand statistics on family based visas leading to visa wastage year over year.

United families with shorter waiting periods will add and increase economic growth, as spouses would be able to work in mental peace and can contribute more in taxes.


Below are the statistics from DOS, travel.state.gov that the NVC/Consulates is using only partial quota of total allotted 88000 visas to F2a (under immigration act 1990) and causing agony and a long wait times for green card holders.

visa unused in (%)------58%----------70%------80%-------72%--------70%-------68%-------63%-------49%------38%


I am writing this letter as I hope and trust, you may be able to help bring in more accountability and at the least press for the need for publishing the demand statistics ahead of the release of visa bulletin and help stop the blatant visa wastage for countries with less demand so that stakeholders can benefit even within the framework of current INA laws.

Thanks kumbahara for editing the letter. I am greatly appreciated your effort on this matter!!

[kumbahara 3]

No problems. I guess I got used to writing to congressmen about the EB green card retrogression and now writing to FB. I hope the efforts to get the issue into improving the regression of cutoff dates sooner.
