Send chocolate kisses to USCIS to get there attention

[virgillionaire 0]

Tired of waiting for VSC to get around to your petition? Many of us plan to send a package of hershey kisses (love theme) from www.hersheygifts.com with a message that we are tired of waiting to be with our loved ones!

We are sending these the end of this week to

P Novak, adjudicators and staff

USCIS Vermont Service Center

75 Lower Welden Street

St Albans, Vermont 05479-0001

We are issuing a press release on monday to coincide with the packages arrival.

If you want to make some noise, pitch in and send a gift pack or two.

Shortly after they sent flowers the 'deadline' for filing got extended from june to august. Personally, I think this is one of the items that caused the delays at VSC, which started around june.

Some people think that they also threatened legal action which may have helped.

This is separate from the flowers. There are a bunch of us who filed at VSC who started this after the slowdown there.

especially if it makes news like the flowers, hehe. I hope CSC filers decide to pile on and bring more attention to this. At least Hershey's will be happy

er....perhaps I should get a job with USCIS now? I've been in the mood for chocolate. And historically, if I am fed on the job at someone else's expense, I am a better worker:)

However, did it ever occur to some people that you may actually slow down USCIS by sending them a big box of chocolates? Too busy eating chocolates to work on your cases:)

Although if I was a supervisor opening the box and I was short on meeting my quotas because of some slack off phone monkeys or approval people, I know how to get them to work faster...BRIBE with the chocolates! There, more cases approved AND my quota goes up.

Personally, I'm hoping for a sugar-rush fed productivity surge! we can only dream.

Ok- I'm thinking about hopping on board with the chocolate sending, but a few concerns hopefully someone can address... Sending a government agency chocolate? Boxes and boxes from people they don't know? Will they even be able to accept them? I desperately hope they do, and if they accept the boxes, ata that point will they be allowed to eat them? Anyone else understand where I'm coming from here, or am I alone in my worries? (this visa process has heightened my "worry sensor" to new and unprecendented levels!)

These same questions were taken into account, this is why the hershey's is being sent directly from the Hershey company. It was felt that it would be credible coming from a well known US business.

And then the folks at USCIS slow down even more, waiting for us to start sending car titals and house deeds.

Ok, as monday is a federal holiday (must be nice), i requested the press release be done tuesday instead.

The kisses will arrive tuesday, if they are closed monday so no biggy...

Also to send a message with your order from www.hersheygifts.com you can 1) choose the chocolate kiss orders with the 'p' label and put your message on the little tag on the kiss itself - but it's limited to 30 characters apparently, and/or 2) put the message in the 'to' line at checkout where you get 45 or so characters, there is another 45 or so on the 'from' line.

I was hoping a longer message would be possible because now i can't use "ROSES ARE RED VIOLETS ARE BLUE, HURRY THE HELL UP!"

Why, that sentiment would make a lovely T-shirt.....
