Monthly Transfer Spreadsheets in order

[Eastyo 100]

Ladies/Gents.

Any other takers to this wager ?

I am down to write a letter. Even if it is a "reminder" that we are all watching, waiting and taking notice. Waiting until May we be pointless, as they will miss this target anyway!

Welll... have you done what Kayalara suggests ??

Have you raised a service request and referenced your MSC#, service request number and Alien Name -- in an emailed addressed to the TSC ?

We are all anxious - but I have a feeling that you should be contacting senators and congressman instead of spending your time on VJ. You are closer to approval - we are being forced to wait till we get "seniority".

Omg, she's done this. She's been doing it for months. Her still waiting is not a failing on her part.

I agree if we do write a letter we should focus on the aspect of different processing centers time frames. I see that csc looks like the only area who is working on improvement. At this point processing times should be around 6 latest seven months Most August filers are reaching the five month mark very soon so at this point we should take more part in the action. If anyone is ok with waiting 9-10 months than good for you we aren’t we have families we want to see and don’t have the luxury of seeing that often

I think a letter now, well after their new times in a few days, will show them that we are monitoring still and that the last was not the only one we will write. Then If in April/May there are still major issues, a stronger letter....

Why not wait till April/May - isn't it easier to hold their feet to the fire then ?

Because then we can say "you didnt promise what you said you'd deliver on" ??

Even if we did another media campaign, it would be a third one (VJers did two - the last one was right before the end of 2013) . The media will ignore it as a story because its exactly what they ran a couple of months ago and the politicians will not care.

As for USCIS management.

I doubt they have the integrity and the honesty, let alone empathy.

If they did, Texas and Nebraska would not be involved. It would be done at Vermont - WHICH CAN HANDLE THIS STUFF !!!!!

If it weren't for the efficiency of the California Service Center, this would be a living breathing production of "Emperor Mayorkas has no clothes"

BECAUSE WE ALREADY WAITED 9 MONTHS, SOME EVEN MORE. You can wait til April or MAY.. go right ahead... We have already been waiting too long.. Some of us do mind this long wait.

I'm entirely on your side.

I will even email whomever - and i will ask my friends and family to help.

Who will listen to our voices ?

And is the person listening - can he/she coerce CIS into taking definitive action ?

Until we talk to Chuck Grassley or whomever CIS actually listens to - until we get the ear of a POWERFUL sympathetic senator - someone with influence or contacts on specifically the Senate Judiciary Committee - maybe Feinstein, Cornyn, Leahy and so on - this is not going to get done.

Everybody else dont matter.

The Ombudsman will not care because they will messing with that Feb 14 date.

CIS will not care because they just dont listen.

The media will not care because its a story they have already run.

You get political capital when you exercise restraint and make properly-timed suggestions.

I don't see a coherent strategy here.

We will end up splurging away whatever was gained from the previous two tries.

I disagree. Particularly if we pitch it as another Obama scandal, "Obama gives citizenship to illegal aliens while making US citizens suffer" or something along that line, I think there is a lot of potential interest in our situation. We already have 1 reporter looking into it, we need more.

Particularly with immigration coming up in the House, I think there is a lot of potential interest in this story.

So do i, but how do we move it forward? and who want to take the lead?

I think we should start a video campaign featuring different people telling their stories on Youtube. I have posted twice about it, first time the thread was locked due to massive amounts of personal attacks on me, the second time I only got one person to say they were interested and he later backed out once I PM'ed him.

I know I got approved last week but I'm in on an email campaign/ getting the media onside as I want those people who have been waiting over 6 months to stop being messed around. I know there's some disagreement on here but anything that happens needs to be coordinated for maximum effect rather than lots of individual actions over months which will pass unnoticed so it's in everyone's interest to work together.

I also still stated that I was up for it. I am a woman.

Obama is *not* giving citizenship to "illegal aliens" and I think that by trying to pitch that story, we will lose any support that we have from people on the Left, Moderates, and plenty of Republicans. The only ones you will appeal to are the Tea Partiers. I don't at all support that line of publicity, and don't want to participate in that in particular. As I've stated before, nothing good will come out of attacking either the President OR the DACA filers. The people whose feet need to be held to the fire are the upper management in the USCIS.

That being said, we can try to find out their names and email addresses, and have everyone contact them, their representatives, people at the DOS, etc. And then we can do as people have done in the past, and have people who are waiting for more than 60 days since transfer send them at least on email a day. Maybe more than one email a day.

You are correct, I asl got some bites on the FB page. But I was looking for almost ten and even with you and the FB people (the one guy from here did not give me any info or respond to me) we were not near that. People are really fond of complaining around here but when it comes to doing something they get real quiet.

I want to do something, but a video is not it. It needs to be strategic and correct, we need someone big on board or its just another letter...

Saying that, we should send a new letter anyway, just to show we are still thinking of them, and we know the promises they made!
