July 2012 Visa Bulletin Prediction

[f2a4spouse 4]

Am I the only one who feels something's amiss at DOS/Visa Office in the way the conduct their operations with respect to being transparent. FY 2011 ended in Sept 2011 and yet after 8 long months, they still haven't posted the ONLY report that indicates their issuance of F2A visas? The defunct page without any real data came online on DOS site at http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/statistics/statistics_5641.html

Given the fact that DOS Visa Office themselves predicted movement of upto 2.5 month, past two month's movement has barely been 1.5 months. I know that anything suggested towards improving the situation for F2A is immediately shot down on the pretext of legislative logjams in congress, but if you people who so passionately debate on PD movement, then atleast it would be more helpful if concerns of intentional non release of visa statistics be conveyed to the visa office. I dug up the address of Mr. Donahue in DOS as

Mr. David Donahue

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Visa Services

Bureau of Consular Affairs

Department of State

2201 C Street, NW, Room 6811

Washington, D.C. 20520

As far as I remembered, kumbahara already received responsed from OMBUDSMAN. I personally sent emailed to oppeheim and others mentioned in the thread. Dudn't help at all. All we can do is wait.....! Nobody give a damn about F2a spouses.

God knows when it will end...

I did write to Ombudsman, Mr.Donahue and even USCIS chief counsel Mr.Legomsky and will continue to do it atleast once every month. To members feeling frustrated about not receiving a favorable response, I differ in my opinion. At least a letter to highlight the issue helped congresswoman Zoe Lofgren to accommodate V visas for F2A spouses, although it hasnt made it out of immigration subcommittee. The point is not that no one cares, hence stop all effort. Legislation take long times to craft and implement. If people think its as easy as button click, which is what some people have come to expect, its grossly misplaced.

What I have demanded and requested is write to authorities about making the process more transparent. Make the visa issuance data in each consulate accessible if not monthly, then quarterly, if not quarterly then bi annually at the least. That is not demanding to change the law at the least. But do understand that F2A spouses represent a very small minority in the immigration benefit backlog which doesnt get audience because not enough voices are heard, perhaps. I dont want to paint false hopes, but if there is something that can be done to help reduce the anxieties of ebb and flow of the PD each visa bulletin, it is through requesting to see the same demand data that visa office claims to move their calendar by. I suppose its fair to request that much. And finally of around 88K visas available where is it getting issued or why is there spillover to other categories is what we can aim to figure out through constant attempts to mail/email or call.

Its up to each to decide whether it helps their cause rather than to feel frustrated.

Be realistic, why would they care to each of our demands,..? We aren't citizens of their country, and it is not their choice that we wanted to migrate nor their choice that our loved ones wanted to work there, again, I have said it all before, we are in position to demand anything from these agencies, we are all at their mercy, just be thankful that every VB it is moving forward at a very steady pace,..

Just an opinion though,..

Nothing personal,..

Hello Members,

Need a quick advice regarding 'CHANGE OF CONSULATE / EMBASSY'.

I have moved from London to karachi (pakistan), and request NVC to change the Consulate. They need proof of citizenship?

( I had work permit of UK expired in MARCH 2012, citizen of Pakistan). Currently residing in karachi pakistan

1)Proof will be passport copy and Identity card issued by Pakistani Govt for Citizens???or some thing else.

2)Passport and ID card address are same as mentioned in my police certificates etc)but my present address is different? Do i need to change address on both IDs or leave it like that and let them know that my mailing address is different.

Case number starts from LND XXXXXXXXXX (LND = London) should be ( ISL = Islamabad) or (KHI = Karachi)

Your favor in this matter will be appreciated.

thanks

Filed for F2A

Case Complete in August 2011

PD is 22 June 2010
