Waiting for a NOA2 from VSC for your I-129F?

name='StillThePrettiest' post='1236014' date='Oct 4 2007, 04:58 PM']however, note that 'outcry' (admittedly from lawyers ) got some action...

The outcry from those people included the flowers to uscis which did get media attention.

I still think we, or if I have to I alone, could cause a stir if we sent some chocolates as was suggested earlier. We could do a press release and say "US citizens with own immigration issue do flowers one better" or something.

I'm seriously considering a case of hershey's kisses (get the theme) to VSC. Maybe they'll think of us while they are eating and give us a little consideration?

Guess I'm going it alone, I'll say they are from all of us

Nope you are not alone...what can i do to help..how about hershey kisses with the days we've waited attached as a symbol of our plight?? I think this is a good addition to all the other efforts..what can I do to help???

I'm on board for chocolate. I think I just got distracted at the idea of giving my chocolate away. But I'll do anything for my Bassi. I really, really love him. But, can I keep some out of the case?

[Bassi and Zainab 1]

I have uploaded a copy of the letter I have written.

It is modified from the one I have previously sent to some other officials.

Please, download it, edit it as you see fit, and send it off to...anyone!

But please remember, this needs to be kept as professional as possible otherwise it will be summarily ignored.

Thanks. I'm on it.

would there be any issue, re the chocolate, about them not being allowed to accept food gifts from unknown origin? that might sound absurd, but I've heard of it before :?

The point really isn't for them to enjoy the chocolates so it doesn't matter. It's to make a statement.

yes, but it sort of falls flat if it never gets past the mailing room because it's thrown away

I actually thought the same thing. Call me immature, but I also thought that they shouldn't get a gift for CRAPPY WORK! The fact that we have to bribe them to actually do the right thing is disgusting, but its the way of the world I guess.

By the way, letter to Oprah will be going out today!!! I also wrote to my senators, et al, but have gotten NO RESPONSES from them. I will be emailing them again reminding them of election time.

I am DEFINITELY up for a March. I think we will get a lot more people on board once it is organized. People sometimes shy away until the organizational bit is done and they just have to show up. I think it would be great!

What can I do????

Has it come to the government prioritizing work over family???

Come to? Where have you been? Money has been more important than family in this country for longer than I've been alive. (which is only 18 years of course ) Look around.....

Yes, you are right. Bad choice of words!!!

I'd never call you immature, because I understand the response, but as I've said before - just because they're not working on OUR petitions doesn't mean they're not working at all, and I'd be willing to wager a rather hefty sum that they're actually all over-worked rather than the opposite... see it not as a bribe, but as something to lift their spirits

So how many have we had at VSC this week...

[thejoz 0]

According to this topic, I think zero...

Of course, that doesn't mean that nobody from VSC has been approved, that just means no on here...

[BYRON-LEIDY 0]

That's true...but cmon atleast 1 symbolic approval for us!

Good point. They really just need to hire more people. I don't wish that job on anyone...

minor correction on that letter to Oprah... do not address her as Mrs. Winfrey; she is not married.

That's something I honestly didn't think of, haha. Thanks for pointing that out.
