Look if you don't agree with the post fine. But don't sit there and tell us not to do something. So you mean to tell me a professional athlete should be able to get in but not my fiancée? I'm sick and tired of hearing CR-1 IR-1 people saying that our Visas don't matter. Go to another forum if you don't like it.

 

K Thanks 🤬 

Right on!

RAISE Act

Full title	Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act
Introduced in	115th United States Congress
Introduced on	February 13, 2017
Sponsored by	Tom Cotton and David Perdue
Legislative history
Introduced in the United States Senate as S. 354 by Tom Cotton on February 13, 2017 Committee consideration by: Senate Committee on the Judiciary

The RAISE (Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment) Act is a bill introduced in the United States Senate in 2017. Co-sponsored by Republican senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue, the bill seeks to reduce levels of legal immigration to the United States by 50% by halving the number of green cards issued. The bill would also dramatically reduce family-based immigration pathways; impose a cap of 50,000 refugee admissions a year; end the visa diversity lottery; and eliminate the current demand-driven model of employment-based immigration and replace it with a points system. The bill received the support of President Donald Trump, who promoted a revised version of the bill in August 2017, and was opposed by Democrats, immigrant rights groups, and some Republicans.

Ok, I didn't want to post, but it seems it needs to be said. I am not trying to diminish anyone's journey or trying to say that we are the only ones that have it hard or have ever had it hard or will ever have it hard. But I have also noticed that in a lot of threads where people are discussing taking action and trying to get political figures to please do something about K1 visas, there is often at least one person coming in saying something along the lines: "I am so glad we did CR1" or "this just proves that K1 is not a good choice" and so on and so forth. And it then has a tendency to turn into a discussion of why CR1 is superior. Or they start to discuss politics and who is the worse politician. And the original intent of the thread is lost. I am not going to tell anyone not to post, but can't you see how such statements are not helpful. Some of us did our research, had very good reasons why we chose the K1 and were willing to live with all the consequences of this. But NONE of us knew Covid would strike, NONE of us knew we will be stuck. And of course people get emotional when they read statements like I listed above. Don't you think we aren't asking ourselves if we were idiots for doing K1, if we made the wrong choice?  Even if we had all the info and did all the research. I know I do.
Again, I am not telling you not to comment, you have a right to, but maybe, just maybe consider if what you want to post will be helpful, or if it's just adding noise or changing the direction of the conversation.

My original posts was in response to the "CR1 said K1 was not important and we do

like i said "many of us went to K1 and were denied so had to marry and do CR1 (not our choice)

no one's journey is dimished /all mean money and time spent away from loved one

but in 2009 applied in July and had November interview actually less than 5 months from application to interview so K1 was actually the best and fastest

now, it has slowed down to a crawl (even before covid)

if calling congressman or writing helps,  all  should do it ( newspapers and several organizations are)  

join one that supports your cause

write to congressman

write to newspapers 

comment on TV news on their facebook sites

and most of all support our members here and continue to post experiences and complete timelines
