WHY VERMONT CENTRE IS FASTER THAN OTHERS?

[*julez* 124]

This question and the answer reminds me of that old commercial from the 70s about Tootsie Pops.

"How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

The world may never know......."

OMG Tracy! A very good analogy!!! Quote of the day!! Thanks for the laugh!!!

Well, I'm compiling data on this egregious discrepancy and forwarding it on to my Senator. It may not do any good, but it makes no sense for California to take on nearly 3 times the case load. From the data I've gathered so far, even though they have 3 times the case load, it takes them quadruple the amount of time to process them. And, in my case, and others marrying Canadians, the same thing happens at the Department of State level, as Montreal serves a higher population, as well, and is much slower than the consulate in Vancouver. In one recent report from the Canadian forum, someone called the Montreal Consulate and was told that it would take 8-12 months to schedule an interview.

Here is a list of the state senators, their addresses and phone numbers. You might want to draft a letter template and make it available for other VJ members to mail to or use to call their senator(s). If there is a concerted effort behind this, they make start to take notice.

Sent letters today to both of my Senators - attempted to send to Congressman as well, but was unable to get through via fax. (The form specifically requested faxing and then mailing original). ALSO - don't forget to fill out the release of info forms on their websites when you contact them! Good luck!

edit: why can't I type?

I agree with all of you

It is doesn't matter if Vermont is a small state, so it means it can take Nebraska I-129F service. and California can take only Texas.

I am really glad for guys who send everything to VSC and get approval in few weeks... but why other states can't deserve the same quality of service?

Perhaps there are less people wanting to marry foreigners in the states served by VSC.

I'm still compiling it. I'm trying to get hard numbers, such as Census 2000, number of K visas applied for, etc., to include. I'm working on it during my free time at work. I'd be glad to share it when I do finish it.
