Who made excel?

I read through the forums and someone who waited 9 months i believe had made an excel sheet of our predecessors who went through this. I was thinking maybe i can do the same and if i have large number of people, i can show it to my local reps and state senator. I am not sure how much it can impact but it's our right to show them that this form of vetting is hurting people and causing problems and it's subjective

Congressman doesn't do anything I contacted 2 time but they received same reply from embassy 

The best part about having them involved is its keeping them aware.

This is the spreadsheet we filled up before. Some got their visas. It should be edited, I guess. But there are so many still waiting.

I can tell you that 6 inquiries have been sent and a phone call as well. They do not respond to even a simple query I did regarding if they had recieved the documents we sent out for da 5535. 

If they are not replying, then this is where a 'writ of mandamus' would come into play.

I am a naturalized US citizen waiting my Moroccan fiancee's i129f visa. Applied Feb 2017. She has been in AP since Oct 2017

*UPDATE* Fiancee received i-129f visa and returned passport Nov 2018. 411 days of AP.

 

Please feel free to add your information to the spreadsheet below. It may help us with extra data points for those under extreme vetting. Please do not add personal info as the document is public. Do not edit any other info except your own.

The excel is mine. If anyone wants to take ownership of it, I can give you permission via google docs. Some of the formating in it got messed up along the way...

Yea that be great. Actually i started one so i can add people who are still waiting into the update one. I think as time passes more people are being issued ds5535 so the wait time is increasing.. backlog. What do you think?
