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

[HBO 0]

Ok Im starting to get very upset, worried, frustrated here. Many others after us have now been approved into mid JULY..a MONTH after our noa1!!!!!!!!!!! Many mid Junes are still unapproved..whats up with THAT? Are they just doing the "easy" ones? Or is just a FEW adjudicators working hard? Or are they just looking for ways to stay in service levels...?? Never mind that some of us have to wait even from MAY. What gives? How hard is it to work a case...and send out an noa2, rfe or give SOME sort of information?? Im getting soooooooooo frustrated with this entire process.

Me too! My family and friends keep asking what's going on, and I just have to tell them that I either don't know, or on my angrier days I tell them that my officer must be a lazy sod. I know they're busy, but ....

We'll see. *crosses fingers*

I'd hoped I'd have some information for large family gathering tomorrow, but.. not going to get my hopes up on that one.

By the way NONE Of the June 14th VJ filers have been approved yet that I remember

My receipt date was June 14th on my NOA1. We were approved 11/15/07.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!!!!

Happy Turkey Day!!! Its the last one all of us will be spending alone. November has turned into one helluva month for approvals. Hope it keeps getting better.

Im happy for everyone gthat got approvals thus far...but im getting concerned about ours...alot of people before AND after us have been approved. Is it possible there is a problem with ours?? Do many people get denied??? Im starting to panic.

Me too! It's easy to start getting upset when you see your peers from the same times getting approved while you're passed over. Yours and Mine must be on the same desk with the same lazy worker.

We'll hear soon!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mirla,

Why did they say it had to be there by dec 16th? We were given 3 months to have ours in. I thought that was standard.

Here is an interesting article about immigration backlogs. Unfortunately it sounds like another group is about to be given priority over us. This time it is people applying to be citizens. The USCIS director seems to feel that it is important to get their petitions processed in time for them to vote in the next election.

"I really want to target the elections," USCIS Director Emilio T. Gonzalez told the Associated Press in an interview published Tuesday. "I really want to get as many people out there to vote as possible."

This is what Director Gonzalez is worrying about these days? Maximizing the number of voters for the next election? Shouldn't he be worrying about cleaning up the mess he created at USCIS before he starts worrying about the voter rolls?

Perhaps he is being influenced by statements like these:

"We have a huge concern on the impact of efforts for people to be able to vote in time for the primaries," said William A. Ramos, Washington spokesman for the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, which along with Spanish-language media and labor unions has supported voter-registration efforts in potential swing states with large immigrant populations, including California, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Florida.

Eliseo Medina, executive vice president of the 1.9 million-member Service Employees International Union, said immigrants who want to assimilate into U.S. culture and politics are being let down. "I think the overwhelming response of immigrants is 'We do want to be part of this country, but we also want our voices heard,' " he said. "Unfortunately, due to the incompetence of the federal agency, they may not be able to register their opinions."

And here is an entry in the Federal Register outlining another new program to give preferential treatment to Cuban immigrants. It is intended to get certain potential immigrants here as quickly as possible so that they are not tempted to swim to Florida.

"SUMMARY: This Notice announces U.S. Citizenship and Immigration

Services' Cuban Family Reunification Parole Program. Under this

program, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is offering

beneficiaries of approved family-based immigrant visa petitions an

opportunity to receive a discretionary grant of parole to come to the

United States rather than remain in Cuba to apply for lawful permanent

resident status. The purpose of the program is to expedite family

reunification through safe, legal, and orderly channels of migration to

the United States and to discourage irregular and inherently dangerous

maritime migration."

And should we assume that there will be a similar program for Haitians Director Gonzalez? Of course not, because the real issue is not the safety of illegal immigrants it is the political muscle of the Cuban American community. The Cuban Family Reunification Parole Program is clarly intended to give preferential treatment to Cubans.

Face it gang. The fact that we are citizens means nothing to USCIS. They are prioritizing the needs of businesses and special interest groups with political influence. We are clearly being out hustled in our own country.

Hey Bill How many votes does he think he will generate a few thousand....this is dumb....by the way do you have an address for Mr. Gonzalez....you would think his where abouts are a matter of national security......I can not find it........thank for the info.....Lora

who has the directors contact info? i do believe that this is an angry letter moment!
