If they are still having the same problems now that they were having 5 years ago, that shows that no action on their part has fixed the underlying problem or system that is in place. I don't think sit

If they are still having the same problems now that they were having 5 years ago, that shows that no action on their part has fixed the underlying problem or system that is in place. I don't think sitting back and having patience is going to have ANY positive effect. I don't want people who file 5 years from now to be dealing with the same exact problems that we've had because every one needs to have patience, and accept that there's no transparency or answers from this government agency.

My assumptions are not just based on Visajourney's information. In fact, the vast majority of my theories are based on the past behavior of the USCIS, and their very own information. I have read the FOIA documents that were released. I have read the Ombudsman reports and the USCIS's response to them. I've read lawsuit documents. I've read statistics. I've read up on everything I can get my hands on. If I'm wrong, then I want to know about it so I don't hold the wrong people accountable. Visajourney may be a small sampling, but it, and the other immigration sites out there seem to indicate the same things, which are eventually also corroborated with the data that the USCIS puts out.

I hate to tell you, but I'm just as important as the next person. The people who are still waiting are just as important as I am. This isn't some stupid ride at Disneyworld. These are people's husbands, wives, children, and parents. These people and their relationships are not insignificant and should not be compared to some stupid ride at an amusement park.

And if I'm too busy to come on visajourney once my husband is here, there are plenty of friends on here that I plan on keeping in contact with. And I plan on continuing to work towards helping to fix the immigration system's problems, because it's important. My husband *also* thinks it's important. My whole family and extended circle of friends thinks it's important. You don't think it's important, so don't work towards it. Just telling people to wait and suck it up is not helpful to anyone.

They already are getting that answer on a regular basis from the USCIS.

This couldn't have been better said. Well done, and I agree!

I'm waiting since March 1st for NOA2 and I'm mad at certain people who try to speak for others especially defending USCIS. If you are not upset, mad and angry at this process so something is wrong about you...so please keep your comment to yourself. I'm tired waiting, away from my wife and seriously mad to see people with kids suffer in this process. So please again don't try to lecture us here about nonsense and please don't compare our suffering to a walk in park or disny sh##.

THANKS

I think we agree? You may want to reread what I quoted. Hope your wait isn't much longer.
