Senator Jim Webb

Virginia

Dear Senator Jim Webb,

My name is Lora Pauley Heflin and I have lived in Northern Virginia for most of my life. I have been so very proud to be from Virginia and to be an American. I have traveled extensively doing medical mission work and have taken many exchange students from around the world into my home. In December of 2005 I was in Quito, Ecuador visiting one of those exchange students when I met whom I wish to become my future husband. After many visits and hours of chats and countless emails I applied for a K1 Visa from the Vermont Service Center.

The service center received my petition on June 5 2007 and I received an NOA1 on June 10, 2007. As I write you on November 20 it has been 170 days - 10 days from a full 6 months - and as yet, there has been no answer from USCIS.

I have three requests from you with this letter:

1. Information as to the status of my individual case

2. An investigation into the matter of irregularities in adjudicating K1 visas, ie out of received order and extremely slow processing, and

3. An investigation into the extremely bad customer service from USCIS that is experienced by petitioners, ie misinformation, or outdated information.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am attaching a copy of the certified letter I mailed to Mr Paul Novak, Director VSC, and my personal information regarding my own visa application. I hope that during the next legislative session that some inquiry can be made into this situation, with the result that the USCIS processing of family-based visas can be streamlined and improved.

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Chances are also halfway decent too that they only work a half a day today.

Don't know for a fact they will, but lots of places like to give their employees a head start on a long weekend.

So I imagine the next 4 days or so will be dead both here and there.

Also, I definitely think it is time to send a letter to Mr. Novak as well, just in case.

I think they are working , I got a first touch today after long silence :devil: hope it is not RFE :dance:

Nicely edited!

As a point of clarification, I would like to note that the OP has not applied for a K1 visa, but rather filed an I-129f petition for an alien fiance with VSC. Consequently, the it is the petitions that are adjudicated. Once the petiton has been approved (NOA2), the beneficiary then applies for a K1 visa through the embassy/consulate. I think its important that correct terminology is used.
