Do you think the immigration peeps read our posts?

I'm not really concerned if they do read my stuff or not.

They may be planning on giving me a list of AA meetings in Louisiana though.

Immigration drives me to drink.

Yanno what I thought would be cool? If they did monitor and catalogue all our phone calls. Then when he goes for the interview, there can be a ref number where the CO can listen to a plethora of lovey-doviness and knockdown dragouts. The CO would be all 'you really fcuked up on the 9th of Jan and I totally agreed with her when she called you a b@stard, btw'

well, that's the way it'd go down in my head

Thanks to you, I just snorted diet Pepsi up my nose - ouch!

If they read our posts it means they aren't doing their job sorting through all the paperwork they have us fill out.

If you consider the sheer number of active cases on the USCIS books at any given time, you'd realise that even if there was a policy in place of monitoring such sites as VJ, there would be very little opportunity to gather information in general, and no practical opportunity of matching anything posted here with an actual person and case file in the timeframe necessary for it to play any part in case handling.

I think it is reasonable to assume however that there are some USCIS and DoS staffers who actually do understand the stresses and problems a separated couple suffer and who are as frustrated by the bureaucratic obstacles to case processing as we are, and who hang out in these forums and answer a few questions when they can. There are no rules to say that shouldn't, either in the USCIS, DoS or here. It is reasonable to think that when such people do post, they would not usually identify themselves as staffers, simply because those who really are could not afford to risk being inundated with questions, queries, comments and threats.

The USCIS does know of VJ's existence, though it is only one of hundreds of immigration resources on line. To have any formal policy of monitoring such a wealth of sites and topics and threads would require an army of staff considerably larger than the DHS could hope to muster, and nothing short of that would render anything useful to them. Besides that, they have way better ways of detecting fraudulent applications than this!
