I've been reading a bit through this forum but I definitely did not read it all the way through so if this has been asked/touched on--sorry but I guess I just need to vent because my husband doesn't exactly feel the same way as I do (he's from Venezuela and is used to the government doing what it wants with your life). I remember filing in August and seeing a 5-7 mo. waiting period so imagine my surprise and despair when Nebraska slowed to a practical stop after that and is now giving us a 10-13 mo. wait for U.S. Citizens. I am currently living abroad on a tourist visa in Argentina with my husband and have been traveling back and forth between the U.S. and Argentina since we met (and obviously running out of money doing this, lol). I haven't been able to find a job here and am dying of boredom and the never ending wait. Is there anything we can do? At all? Call NBC? Call Congress? Tweet Donald Trump? I would do anything, haha. It's so disappointing that Nebraska is taking this long when other centers are months ahead. I'm losing patience and hope that this process will ever be over :(. I just need something TO DO. 

Considering Trump wants to get rid of family visas, I don’t think he will feel very inclined to help no matter how much he’s tweeted at. It feels like everyone here has been trying so hard to reach out to anyone who can help but the USCIS just doesn’t care..

Please direct me to evidence that President Trump wants to eliminate spousal visas of US citizens.

Many of us have contacted numerous members of Congress and Senate to very limited to no responces. I personally only had any intelligent responce from one out of the 20+ I contacted and it was Congressman Thomas Massey. He actually called me and was about as decent as you could get, all things considered him still being a politician...haha

I guess the increase in applications since 2015  is irrelevant?

This is just one of many sources. Look up “Trump merit based immigration system”. The “plan” is to replace the current visa system with one based off “merit points” instead, earned by things like your education or career to get a visa instead whether you have family or spouse in the US. Doubtful it will ever pass but it is a plan that exists.

That is a editorial......I see the words "may" and "could" a lot in that piece.

In the article you can see how the writers uses keywords to leave out fact.  

 

Like it will eliminate NEARLY all family and employement visas. 

 

Spouse / children category visas won't be touched. Mom dad brother and sister will be though and pretty much all the employment ones too. 

 

Besides none of these plans have made it to any proposed rule making.

Then you can feel free to look up more sources for your self. There are plenty more reports about his new plan to replace family based visas with these new “merit points”. Anyways like I said, I don’t think it will go through anyways. My only point is that I don’t think he is concerned with us at all.

I have not seen anything that says it will affect spouses......but why don't we wait until the law in enacted?

No, none of it has been put in to action yet,  I never said that it was set in stone, my only point was that reaching out to Trump probably won’t do much as his concern obviously is not to help us who have to wait so long to bring in spouses.

Trump says a lot of bs to get attention and distract. Media eats it up and creates fear to divide the real issue is at Nebraska. Potomac and Texas are keeping or exceeding their petition intake. Nebraska did like 5000 less last quarter. Until they bring back performance metrics. Nothing changing at Nebraska it just seems like they got lazy. They are like just collecting paychecks at this point for minimal work.

I tried tweeting Mr. Trump, I think it works.  I also tweeted to USCIS about Nebraska Service center
