March (2012) filers...

[kmulenga2012 7]

Sounds more like a logistical issue than Obama's issue. Yes, he's the reason for it, but okay it's a done deal. Why didn't ALL the service centers chip in? ALL of them. Texas, Nebraska (does it even exist still), CSC and VSC.

My father works in the department of state and told me about the dream act when it first came up. He had a memo from Obama in his email about it. My dad does visa/passport fraud so they were informed that 60 days from then they'd roll out the new visa. He told me that they usually take a year or more to just change the paperwork for a visa, let alone make a new category up. This was clearly not well planned. He emphasized in the memo they would not hire any one new employees (to me it sounded like a great plan to allow people to legal reside in the US since it's so expensive to do it legally, and to create jobs). I still think they have a great idea on their hands, but they were hasty in rolling it out so soon, not taking into consideration the back log. Obama directed it solely to CSC and VSC. My dad said he had a couple questions on a matter and the first week this dream act took place, NO ONE at his USCIS contact's office would answer the phone. They went into hiding. We aren't the only ones stressed.

Yeah, why the rush? Because he wanted to get this going through before the election. Basically, putting all of these "Dream Act" people in a limbo that he says he will clear up after he's elected for his second term. Sounds like an abuse of presidential power to push the votes in his direction to me. Hah, I guess you can all tell I'm not an Obama fan. To be honest, I'm not a Romney fan either, but what can you do? Anyways, what makes me irritated the most about this is that it makes me feel like a second class citizen even though I AM a citizen. It doesn't seem fair to be shoved to the side for people who came here ILLEGALLY just so someone can get more votes on election day. Grr... I've been waiting too long. Not a happy camper!

In other news, tomorrow is our one month since sending in our RFE with no approval so I suppose if I don't hear anything I'll be writing the Congressman back for yet more assistance. Le sigh...

Congrats to everyone

Good luck for the next steps

GOOOO VSC

Come on VSC!! I hope a lot of Marchies get their approvals today

[miguel.angel 11]

Thursdays sometimes is a good day. I got my notification last Thursday. So im here hoping its a good day for many in the March group. Nobody leaves the topic!

Just called USCIS. Tried to put in a Service Request and of course was denied. The guy said to wait 2 more weeks as I am still within normal processing time since they are working on February 27th. Same nonsense from them. The only thing that didn't get me mad on this call was that the guy was pretty honest and somehow human. Oh well, the show goes on.

I was pretty happy when we got our RFE yesterday... but if it happens to me... I'll just die... I was hoping for a 2-week-bump...

[miguel.angel 11]

Theres no telling.... no consistency whatsoever

Some girl just posted about being approved in 7 days after submitting.. so who knows now

On a side note, Someone at Vermont got approved after a LOOOOOOOONG 140 days :bonk:

Hhhmmm any chance your dad can try making some phone calls again? All I need is an email to the service center director. I want to write an email very badly.

I tried a few days ago and they denied it. I'm going to try again later.

I really want to go to an Obama campaign event and ask the question about how fair he thinks that is. I've written a letter to the white house, but that was before I even linked the dream act to our delay.
