Hello all, sorry I've been away for a day or so. I've been arranging my medical examination etc. I have a lot of planning to do!

Although I'm happy that our case is now complete, I am becoming increasingly concerned to see that some user's cases continue to be overlooked. I think as a group we need to do something in order to have this issue resolved for these users and make the process fair for everyone.

I have written a draft letter below to be sent to state reps for those still awaiting case completes with earlier scan dates. If users with later scan dates and case completes are willing to share their case numbers with those still outstanding, we will be able to prove that some applicants are not being treated in the same manner as others.

If you are interested in using the letter - PLEASE QUOTE THIS POST.

If you have a case complete and want to help - PLEASE PM THOSE THAT WANT TO USE THE LETTER WITH YOUR CASE NUMBER ONLY. By only using the case number, you share no personal or private information.

It may or may not help you, but I figure it's worth a shot, and it might even effect some change with how they're processing applicants unfairly at the moment. Here's the letter - good luck to you all;

To the Right Honorable [insert state representative's name here],

My name is [insert name here]. I am currently assisting my spouse, [insert beneficiary's name here] in applying for an immigrant visa for the United States so that we may live together. Our case is currently under review at the National Visa Center, New Hampshire. Our case number is [insert case number here]

We have cause for concern in relation to the review of our submitted documents as we feel we are not being treated in the same expedient manner that has been extended to other applicants. We submitted our documents for review on [insert date here], yet we are aware of numerous other cases that have been reviewed and approved despite having sent in their documents at a later date. We have reached out to these applicants via an online forum who have given their respective permission to share their case numbers with us in order to support our concerns. These are;

We have contacted the National Visa Center in relation to this issue who have confirmed that they process their workload on a first-in, first out basis. When we have asked why this principle has not been applied to our case, or suggested that our case may have been overlooked, we have either not been offered an adequate explanation, or have been told that those that have submitted documents at a later date than us are lying. We have also not been given a definite timescale as to when this will be resolved.

My spouse and I would greatly appreciate if you could inquire on the current status of our case on our behalf, and seek an explanation as to why our case has not been reviewed in an expedient, fair manner.

Sincerely, your constituent,

Wow. Cannot say thank you enough for this act of kindness. I was going to start drafting this weekend because unfortunately I think it's time to get my state representatives involved. If anyone would be willing to share their case numbers with me I would be more than grateful. Thanks in advance :)

Now, Im really freaking out what else they could see on our forms.

by the way did you send a copy of social security card? i havent, and i see someone posted that he has a checklist and it includes social security card copy. it wasnt stated on the instructon though.

No - I didn't include a copy of my social security number. I believe it was included on my tax return and pay stub that I submitted though. I only included a pay stub because my current job isn't reflected on my 2013 taxes as I just got it in June 2014. Hope this helps...

This is wonderful idea. I really feel the pain for those still waiting from January, now the waiting time is lower than 40 days for some. It is so unfair for EP filers. I wishing you all good luck!

I was thinking of starting a blog with the intent to start a lobby group. The main driving component would be donations with whatever adsense (ads) could generate

I'd be more than up for helping out with that.

thank you a lot folks! I really hope we get some help as we are really helpless against those monsters who are called people at the NVC, they are really messing up with people's live's and they know that, but they do not care. they have the power to abuse us and we, unfortunately, can not do anything about it. we call and get yelled at by representatives, we get checklists for stupid things and most of the time because of a human error at the NVC, we are being treated like C R A P as if we are animals and do not deserve to be treated like humans. We are being lied to everyday. We really need to react and fight back, otherwise it will always stay as it is. I REALLY HOPE people who got their cases completed be kind and participate, I know this might not help them, but it might help other people.

thanks in advance

IF YOU HAVE A CASE COMPLETE please check the spreadsheet to see if your scan date was later than the following users;

Kels2487

BellaRose_09

you guess

young_love_WA

mrs thb

PLEASE help these users out by sending them your case numbers in a private message so that they can include them as evidence of unfair treatment from the NVC and write to their senators. It won't take you more than five minutes and might help reunite these people with their families sooner. I'll post again when more people indicate they want to use the letter.

This is a good idea, shippingforecast. I would be happy to provide my case # to others before or after I receive a response. For me, personally, I don't see any downside with providing others with my case #, but I understand if others have concerns. Perhaps it could be added as a voluntary field to ariani's spreadsheet.
