February Filers - a question

[hmm1 0]

There are many, many solutions to this very simple problem. But workers at CSC will wake up and go to work tomorrow and do the same thing they did today and yesterday. Leadership needs to acknowledge the system is broken, outdated, and inequitable. Until that happens, nothing will change.

We have a loose FIFO system now, sort of. The data supports that. But there are gaping holes and people seem to get bypassed by months and months. This is unfair and unnecessary even without the use of computers!

I am angry and disappointed with this entire process. This is where I direct my anger, not at those receiving approvals. The VSC vs. CSC processing time discrepancy is so unfair and there is no justifiable explanation. But who is aware of this? Can we speak loud enough to make them aware?

OK, I am rambling and need to stop...

I think you just voiced my opinion too...beleive me, after this is over, I will make just about every congressional rep aware of this, starting at the DOHS committee chairman.

You will only be giving yourself more stress by being negavtive and unhappy because people are being approved, no one on VJ or anywhere will have control on how people re approved. Some cases are more complicated than others and I don't see any sense in putting someone's approval on hold just because someone from Jan has an RFE or something, it just doesnt make any sense. Yours will come, as for now deal with 'cos there is really nothing you can do about it.

goodluck for your interview on june 15...hmmm mine is june 16 B)

I really appreciate what you've said - and that you highlighted where our anger should be directed ... not at couples who have been approved. You and others are right! I apologized to Jenn and her fiance. I had directed my fear and frustration at the wrong people. AND she was very gracious about everything(!). Goes to show that if you make a mistake, the sooner it's acknowledged and an apology is made ... the better.

This experience has been exhausting and emotional -- and MS and I are at the beginning. Recently, there was a post which emphasized that once the visa is issued you're only halfway there. (ugh) I'm documenting this experience and plan to knock on some doors when it's over. I need to finish it, though, to have any credibility ...

Changes need to be made. And I'm going to bug the ####### out of those who can effect changes that we need. Outdated. Broken. Inequitable. is right.

I believe being' half way there' is a fair statement.

And thank you for listening to my rant. I am sure everyone here understands the stress we are under.

That sounded optimistic! Congrats!!!

Why wait until it is over?

Plenty of downtime to fill - I find advocacy helps sometimes.
