Everyone call congressperson and demand K1 be critical

Well I wouldn't want to call myself a Biden supporter. Have you seen him talk?

I was well aware. But. As I find with a lot of people on this forum is that they only wag the finger when they don’t have to deal with it.

Life is full of choices and consequences.......most of us have had to deal with a lot of things....like separation from spouses for a year or more.....

[Cheburashka34 228]

Anyways, how do you even go about calling a congressman?

If people are really concerned about the costs of AOS, ROC, etc., then they didn't understand that the immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience,...and money.

I am so thankful to have found this site. While I’m in the infant phase of the process, I have done a TON of research about it and ultimately it’s my decision to go down this path and sponsor a foreign fiancé.
 

The petitioners have the burden of the proof to show USCIS that it’s a real relationship, that they can support the beneficiary until they are able to work, that they will not become a public charge. It is a long, long process with lots of time, money, frustration...

I see a lot of people saying that the AOS fees will hurt the pocketbook, but I feel that travel to another country to get married will also be incredibly expensive. The flights. The hotel. I spent a considerable amount of money last week going to Turkey to see my fiancé. 

And i had to make 5 trips to satisify immigration so i know the cost 

1  month of june 2009

2  months march and april to marry 2010

1  month of November for honeymoon as noted in USCIS i had to prove

3 months in 2011 

3 more months in 2014/15

 

but all of us have had to do this and the cost can be outrageous 

i just feel for all going thru it now 

all this hurts all of us even those of us who have finished the original visa and just want families to visit 

i am just glad we got thru it all before all the fee increases 

and really glad my great grandparents came here long before all this visa #######

You call their office and leave a comment to be passed on. If it is or not who knows. But at least there is an attempt at action

When I lived in Arkansas, I had a Congressman who gave me his personal cell phone number.  Once, I decided to try to give him a call.  He immediately answered.......He was a really good guy......

I think many don't understand it when i read all the posts here saying someone needs a joint sponsor

Same here many years ago I had to rely on my Congressman and he got sh$t done and everything moving along.  

 

I fully support everyone putting pressure on their congress person especially with the pending USCIS shutdown which will create even more havoc.

Almost everyone posting has been through the process you are going through. No, most didn't have to deal with Covid prolonging the separation from a loved one, but the fact is you are going through one of the easiest embassies. Some embassies have much longer wait times even before Covid. 

 

Everyone that is on this immigration journey is being affected. My wife will be going to her citizenship oath ceremony next week, and I can't see it. I have to wait outside.

I was hoping to at least have a drive through ceremony, but we are just glad to complete this journey, and she is very excited about being able to vote.

I was afraid to say this but i do think the plan is to phase it out thus hurting a lot of people who can't take tons of time off work to marry in a foreign country (Morocco took us almost 2 months of traveling to 4 different cities and doing all the documents)

But if i was to do it now,  i would definitely go CR1 as the new AOS fees are really going to hurt the pocketbook 

Look, DJT's end game was to limit immigration period. The easiest path to the WH was to play the whole illegal immigration card. But a plan was in place- with a few guys like Tom Cotton to come up with policies that will limit legal immigration. Want proof? Look at what Trump has done so far and google Tom Cotton immigration plan and you will have all the proof you want to have. Corona presented the OPPORTUNITY and TIME.  There are more legal immigrants than illegal immigrants, so it made sense to him to start limiting legal immigration. Taking immigration the merit way, will basically close 3/4 of the world to America. That is Africa, South and Central America, and Asia. Also, one LEGAL opening is all DJT needs to screw everything up. You are talking about an administration which does not operate in 50 shades of grey when it comes to these matters.

Whole point is, cover your back at all times and in all ways.

This is Stephen Millers plan. Basically making it impossible for anyone but Europeans.
