Hi Janelle,

I posted this in the September thread in a reply to your post, but thought I would include it here, as there may not be much awareness as to the issues that are being experienced and the battles that are being fought on the Fiance Visa side of things.

Thanks!

Hi Janelle2002,

Good stuff, thanks for forwarding the link. If you could, please make mention of the other efforts we've made to date, including a question that was posed to the director of the USCIS. We've been doing a lot on the Fiance Visa side of things that perhaps you aren't aware of. Maybe include links in the channel? I dunno, whatever you think appropriate. The majority of this isn't about the general wait, it is in regard to the incredibly, unbelievably, astonishingly, ridiculously, almost-seemingly-criminal processing time difference for the I-129F between the CSC and the TSC. So it isn't a "hey, could you hurry things up?" so much as it is a "hey, could you make things fair?" type of argument that we've been making to-date.

That said, all of this content is very relevant. Anyway, here are the threads:

Folks: If you're going to make videos, use strong discretion as to including any personally identifiable information. We don't know who trolls this site. VJ Moderation can't look at the videos to determine this for you. Thanks for remembering this prudent caution.

TBoneTX-

This sounds like good advice in the general sense, but I - for one - am curious to know more about what you're referring to ... I mean, what is the concern exactly? I have a few ideas, but am interested to hear clarification, beyond the obvious of "my full name is XXXX and my address XXXX and my passwords are XXXX, etc. Thanks!

Just try to think what someone who's up to no good might learn and be able to use. The things that you mention, certainly.

Okay. I just wanted to be sure it is not including any information you feel we should not include. Thanks TBoneTX.

Hi again Janelle,

As I mentioned in the September thread, I'm volunteering the skunkworks team to put together a video regarding the issue and the fight we've been waging. We'll get back to you ASAP.

Thanks!

Jerry

TBoneTX-

Hmmmmmmmm....ok. Well that's kinda difficult for me personally because I don't think like that. :rofl: If I tried to do "no good" with something, well, I'd just suck at it. LOL

Anyway, ok, thank you for the general guidance and word of caution. I'll do my best.

The content we included in our videos thus far has been good, yes?

I admire your courage to openly link to your video, but also agree with the 'general' concept of identity protection. I don't believe that VJ is the best forum for your video, as there is a wide dispersal of people who are enjoying the spoils of doing things the illegal way.

Another huge in your face topic that affects the path to "legal" immigration is that there are several countries whose citizens are allowed to cut in line because the US state department said they could. While there are a few from some of these countries who may have legitimate concern to political persecution, or natural disaster, the State Department does very little to substantiate a claim of such. In fact, the beneficiary may only need to be a citizen of that country or select a checkbox on a form.

When you consider the thousands of legal marriage based petitions that are rejected for non-bona fide relationship, even though the couple provides dozens if not hundreds of pages of photos and other evidence of ongoing relationship. Every single day these folks are rewarded with rejection and no path to correcting it due to the "DOCTRINE OF CONSULAR NON-REVIEWABILITY." This doctrine places the ConOff in a god-like position, and all the interviewee can hope for is that one person conoff didn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed. There is NO recourse when that happens.

Today's immigrants are being used as political pawns more than ever before in history. A congressman need only pass a bill to get accolades from his or her constituents from some not to be mentioned country, and those beneficiaries will leap right in front of thousands of others. It's my contention that the vast majority of asylum seekers and preferential cut in line folks have no basis whatsoever to cut in line. They do it because they can. Most folks are not paying close enough attention to see it. To be sure they would speak up if it happened at the grocery store or the bank.
