Should the infographic also run a comparison with the Deferred Action petitions? I think the media would jump on that since illegal immigration is such a hot topic. Our stories are a volcano and it's time to erupt, in my opinion. Figuratively speaking, of course ;)

I'm not the most artistic person but I'd really like to see an effort toward an infographic. I can point the designer in the right direction for data and make suggestions on how it could look. For example, veterans are experiencing extended wait times for benefits as well. Here's a design that could be copied for I-130 petitions:

My husband is actually really good at creating graphics. I'll ask him if he's interested in trying to create one and let you know.

New data is out for dates. Average wait time is now listed for every service center as 8.9 months (but somehow the national average is now 8.8???) and the new processing date is 8 March 2013. New volume trends have still not been released.

I think to both.

Do we want to start writing the letter right now, or do we want the volume data to come out?

I don't think it's fair or helpful to throw the K1's under the bus. They're in their own special immigrant class, and were also impacted negatively by the DACA applications last year. We have the information about the DACA petitions and their approvals. Hell, Mayorkas was praised over and over again for how he made sure they went through quickly. The K1's are ALSO US Citizens. Unless you're talking about showing how they were negatively impacted as well.

The last thing we want is them just switching the backlog back over to them. We want them to actually FIX the problems. Not just shift them to someone else.

I think highlighting a comparison with the Deferred Action petitions will get the media interested. The common dude on the street wouldn't know the difference between a K-1, K-3, I-130 and probably won't take the time to read it. Comparing our backlog with the DACA provides the 'punch' journalists are looking for when writing a story (in my honest opinion). Everyone in the States is familiar with the controversy surrounding illegal immigration, but hardly anyone is aware of the legal process. If the public is informed of what we're going through, maaaaaaybe we can get some action...?

We dfinitely need to compare it to the DACA's. In August they did more than 95,000 DACA's, almost 1/4 the current I-130 backlog, and the next month that only did about 20,000 less than that. In November at Vermont they did over 10,000 DACA's and only 939 I-130's! Outrageous!

I want to call attention to two things:

First, there is a record of a Congressional Hearing that dates back to March 2013, where the backlog was discussed.

Subject: The Separation of Nuclear Families under U.S. Immigration Law

http://judiciary.house.gov/index.cfm/hearings?ID=379D704E-0AF1-6E53-B1BA-B486D96E2F1F

A .pdf file of the hearing with all supplemental material is available here:

http://judiciary.house.gov/_files/hearings/printers/113th/113-9_79881.PDF

A video stream is available here:

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/29974167

Make a note of Congressmen who took part in the hearing and consider that they are the policy makers we need to reach most.

Second, there a lobbying group that we can reach out to help focus our efforts.

http://www.americanfamiliesunited.org/

I especially like the press link because I read it as a contact list for journalists who could be interested in the backlog story. I would caution any effort to play one group off in our letters. Let's let numbers speak for themselves and be ever demanding for transparency.

That's all about LPR's not a word about US citizen relatives in there.

Same thing with that NGO. I've read their page, all they care about is getting people who broke immigration laws into the same line we are waiting in. Not a word about anyone who's applying for an alien who has never been to the US or only visited briefly and legally and then left, like we are. The only concern is for people who already broke the law.
