Called my Senator's office - Didn't end well.

[spareows 7]

I called Texas Senator Ted Cruz's office and spoke to Melissa Miller today regarding the backlog at Vermont. She was very short and rude. On top of saying "Looks like you'll just have to wait" she told me that she "wouldn't be reaching out to them (Vermont) again" because she already called for another gentleman. When I pointed out that many people were being approved from months all out of whack she brushed it off and basically called VJ contributors liars. When I told her that the recent timelines showed approvals from July - February she scoffed and told me that she wouldn't look at anything unless my case was filed before October 15, 2012.

Really frustrated with the conversation I just had.

She sounds like a gem. I started a petition if you're interested. Spread it around if you can.

Rep Walter Jones' (NC-3rd) folks were just as unhelpful. Took them forever to respond as well.

Considering Ted Cruz wants to abolish the IRS...I dunno. Your other senator isn't exactly rushing to work on immigration either.

Perhaps you have a congressman who can help?

[Dustin and Janen 86]

Remember this next election. Vote against them.

Yeah,, I got the same response from that office when I called about the CSC backlog several months ago. Cornyns office wasn't much better.

Sorry to hear you weren't having any help either. Senator Cornyn I contacted, but like you said, he's not really going to be much help. My other representative may be some more help, but who knows. I've got a request out to him as well. Fingers crossed. There are some serious problems with the current immigration system. It's hard being away from someone you love.

Believe me, I haven't ever voted for them to begin with. Now I'll go out of my way to actively campaign against them.

No, they're just not helpful. And their staff are rude as well. Talk about frustrating. Unless you're a big company with lots of money to throw towards their special interests they don't care.

From your timeline it seems you are right at the point of 6 months which an average is given few weeks here or there.

No senator or congressman is going to touch a case if it is within the average time frame.

Each case is different and some do get approved faster and some does take little extra time nor they would go by anything on VJ.

And I understand that. I was calling in regards to many of the Vermont cases being approved out of order. Like I mentioned, from July-Feb on the most recent Igor's List. If they're doing a first in, first out, then times should be consistent. I do understand there are expedites, but several of the February cases that were processed this week did not have an expedite. That's awesome for those guys, but I was calling to ask them to look into the backlog, inconsistent approvals, etc.

I feel hurt and annoyed as it might just be paperwork for these people but to US its our life's there messing with

There is no FIFO remember that, none of the centers work on FIFO bases.

There are simple things like where your fiancee is would matter too, for some countries centers can verifiy information quickly and case would move faster.

There can be other things like if either one was married in past or not etc.

Just coz one center is processing Feb and your application was in Jan at another center, Senator or Congressman is not going to question the center. for that.

Avg time us 6-7 months and if one center is processing it faster than 6 months they are not going to question them for processing faster than avg time.

Harsh people from the same countries are being processed out of order. We're not comparing CSC with VSC
