Should be unlawfully (condoning or considering doing something illegal)?  Otherwise, great post.

 

I believe this is about 3rd party app Lawfully for both iOS and Android. They also have website with USCIS statistical information. I have no idea why this site would forbid access or sharing factual information from other sources that can be either helpful or at least interesting to people monitoring USCIS internal workings.

Allowing users to link to other sites must be controlled because certain links can result in lost users on this forum and less advertising revenue. 

Sure

But can you see how what you typed is different from what said?

So if we all must remain unfailingly supportive of each other, then why do people get banned here for tracking and presenting accurate data and creating effective support systems in regards to this process?

So is sharing information from the sources other then self reported forums timelines ok, or not? And mentioning tools outside (E.g. widely popular apps) is ok not? That is not advertising Whatsapp groups or FB communities. Or the goal is just to have a walled garden where any sources of outside information are purged.

Everyone reading here is referred to this thread, pinned in the K-1 Process forum and similarly in the CR-1 Process forum:

In addition to the above, bear in mind that the most experienced members are typically participating in a great many threads all across the forums, trying to be concise while openly providing advice gained from personal or forum experience.

 

If a response seems unnecessarily blunt, read it again, picturing a brotherly or sisterly or avuncular arm around your shoulders as the words in the post are spoken.  Doing this can restore the elements of "tone" that are routinely lost when words are merely typed.  If you perceive more helpfulness after reading the post in this way, then you have your answer as to whether the post was well-meant.

 

Everyone is invited to review the site's Terms of Service, found here:

http://www.visajourney.com/content/terms

If a post truly violates a provision, hit the "report post" button at upper right and explain your reasoning.

 

Folks, this legal-immigration process is dysfunctional at best and broken at worst.  The tension and frustration become unbearable, seemingly with no way to fight against it or relieve it.  Please remain unfailingly supportive of each other.  Remember that if you hold one pencil and snap it, it will break; conversely, if you hold a handful of pencils and try to snap them, they'll remain undamaged.  It's best to hang together through this journey.

Remember, too, that those of us who are finished with this infernal process are hoping and praying for your progress almost as intensely as you are.  You're not alone, and you're never forgotten.  Take comfort and find renewed strength in this.

Hi, I am going to compile a very very large list of links and or screenshots of hundreds of posts by multiple members that this does not and cannot apply to. They are plain just rude and condenscending in every aspect. Some even love to bold certain sections of their replies to make it clear they are being stern and bullying. That's the whole reason why I steered away from here after joining a few months back. I now see the owner has made himself present so maybe it would be nice to get input straight from him on how to address this and make the forum community friendly. 

 

If veteran members are stressed from answering a great many threads across the entire forum, they should simply take a break. There are absolutely no excuses as to why anyone should think they can reply to anyone else with a tone that undermines them and sometimes plain old ridicules them for everyone to jump in on and piggy back off of that behavior. I look forward to improvement and enjoying many topics across the board with fellow members moving forward and hope this greatly changes in the near future.

I would just want people to be more courteous. What mod action, if any is taken is not for me to comment on

 

@AndiB +1 on this.  This is a core principal.  Respect each other :)!  We all have our own perspectives, biases and good+bad days... however we have to try our best to respect and support each other.  It's what a community and family does -- and what VJ should be all about!

 

Thinking on the mod side.  If I go back to the early days of VJ, my moderation strategy was always to gently guide things back on course as a first reaction rather than heavy handed "rubber stamps".  I also tried to lead by example and set the 'right' tone.  I think it was helpful and wonder if this is an area we can work on collectively?

Hang in there... Every day is one step closer!
