USC Green Card Petitioners' Committee

[Blueberry Pancake 311]

Are any Spanish-speakers going to join the USCIS online-conversation next week?

Why is it only for Spanish-speakers, I wonder? English-speakers would certainly have quite a few questions as well. Just sayin.

I'll try to get my wife in there, see if she can wrangle some straight answers out of them

Ask the Vice President about an immigration issue! Is anyone else going to do this?

awesome, thanks for the link! I just recorded my video question, and I'll send one via twitter, just in case

[spectrrr 14]

I submitted video and twitter questions to the #AskTheWhiteHouse about the current delays of the CR1/IR1.

I also submitted a twitter question to the USCIS_es about the IR1/CR1 delays, and another question about whether they would reinstate the previously FAST approval times of the K3 visa, given the current situation.

Not sure the White house will respond to it, they're more worried about the PR debate regarding millions of immigrants already in the country... but hopefully the USCIS will say something.....

#######.... looks like the "LO quality" video stream still is not low enough for my internet connection. More buffering than listening, I can't understand anything. #BingFail

Please let me know if he addresses one of our questions

I'm following on the white house webpage... And so far nothing of substance on us...

NO LUCK with the USCIS spanish town hall tonight. They didn't answer my questions on Twitter (they addressed very few questions from email and twitter). Most of the questions they answered were from live callers. We called in, but they never got to our call.

auuggghhhhh.... SOOOO close to talking to someone DIRECTLY with the power to answer a question. sooo close....

Good idea.Keep going.

What the director gonna say to me when I will tell him that we cant see each other after 1 year.Last time I saw her in March.

Me and my wife cant celebrate New Year and Christmas together because I-130 petition took 8 months to be approved..

I think that has to be petition with a so many petitioners statements about the long wait time for processing.

Let him decide does it right somebody to be separated that long.

I hope that who ever was processing our application ,and didnt make effort to do it quicker for being lazy,i wish him to have long wait period for the things

are important for him and suffer like we do being away from our wife or husband.

Like somebody says our paperwork is catching dust in some file cabinet drawer.

I wish everybody their journey to come quicker to the end and start new happy life with our lifetime partner.

Thanks for trying on on the Spanish call!

After the break team Obama is going to come roaring back for immigration "reform" for illegals. I think we should put our video together, to show America that not just illegals but also citizens are being affected by this corrupt system. What does everyone think?

[Kaylara 814]

You know, a few months ago I honestly was wishing the same thing. That those who were processing our applications or delaying them would have to feel the same pain they were inflicting on us with their inaction. I've had a long time to think since then (and still no approval for me, yet.) and honestly, I don't want them to have to go through anything like this. I don't wish this on any other person. It's absolutely horrible. I wish that they would act from a position of fairness and empathy. But I can't knowingly wish this pain upon another human being.

They didn't answer your questions, guys.. Was so hoping I would see your faces there Sigh.

They just made a general statement that the legal immigration backlog will be cleared once the bill is passed.

If you read the bill, what they are refering to is the backlog at the NVC for approved F2A and other LPR visas which are waiting for their priority dates to become current. They are not referring to citizens like us and our spouses.
